In an earlier version of this podcastDr Lok was discussing the naming convention of an AV access. As an example of a radiocephalic fistula she said, “a radial cephalic fistula would be connecting an arterialartery to cephalic vein.” She meant to say, “radialartery to cephalic vein.”

Later, while discussing insertion of needles, Dr Lok said, “autogenousgraft,” but meant to say “non-autogenous graft.”
