In an earlier version of this podcast Dr 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 arterial artery to cephalic vein.” She meant to say, “radial artery to cephalic vein.” 
Later, while discussing insertion of needles, Dr Lok said, “autogenous graft,” but meant to say “non-autogenous graft.”
