After percutaneous deep venous arterialization (pDVA), the created arteriovenous circuit needs time to develop. Postprocedural care in patients after pDVA is essential in order to create optimal conditions for maturation of the circuit, and thus save the limb. However, current literature mainly focusses on the procedure itself, making postprocedural care an underexposed topic. Therefore, this study presents an overview of the available literature of postprocedural care of pDVA patients and provides recommendations based on expert opinion when current knowledge is limited.
