We performed a single-center retrospective study of prospectively collected data for all patients who had flow reduction surgery with FRAME FR between November 2020 and January 2021. Ten patients had arteriovenous fistula flow reduction surgery with this technique. One patient had a distal fistula, whereas nine were within the cubital fossa. In nine patients the device was applied over the postanastomotic arteriovenous fistula outflow vein and in one in the preanastomotic radial artery. Technical success was achieved in all patients with a median flow reduction from 2150 to 825 mL/min. There were no wound or device-specific complications.
