Prosthetic arteriovenous grafts for hemodialysis.
INTRODUCTION Prosthetic arteriovenous (AV) grafts are indicated in patients with failed AV fistula (AVF), exhausted superficial veins or unsuitable vessels. Increasing the proportion of prevalent hemodialysis (HD) patients using autogenous AVF should reduce the need for AV grafts and associated morbidity. This paper reviews the current role of prosthetic AV grafts in vascular access for HD. T...
متن کاملInfectious complications of arteriovenous ePTFE grafts for hemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Insufficient venous vasculature disallows autologous arteriovenous fistula creation. In this case an arteriovenous conduit of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) interponed between artery and vein is used for hemodialysis. Although arteriovenous graft infection is an infrequent complication, infected grafts cannot be used for hemodialysis and can cause infection, sepsis and blee...
متن کاملLong-term outcomes of arteriovenous thigh grafts in hemodialysis patients: a comparison with tunneled dialysis catheters.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Arteriovenous thigh grafts are a potential vascular access option in hemodialysis patients who have exhausted all upper-limb sites. This study compared the outcomes of thigh grafts with outcomes obtained with dialysis catheters. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS A prospective vascular access database was queried to identify 209 thigh grafts placed from Jan...
متن کاملPercutaneous Intervention in Axillary Loop-Configured Arteriovenous Grafts for Chronic Hemodialysis Patients
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the fistulographic features of malfunctioning axillary loop-configured arteriovenous grafts and the efficacy of percutaneous interventions in failed axillary loop-configured arteriovenous grafts. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten patients with axillary loop-configured arteriovenous grafts were referred for evaluation of graft patency or upper arm sw...
