Chapter 21: Vascular Access for Hemodialysis in the Elderly
All types of hemodialysis access are potentially problematic in elderly persons. Fistulas or grafts can be difficult to initiate because of atherosclerosis and prior vascular damage and additionally pose a risk of causing distal ischemia. In patients with heart failure, the extra cardiac load of an arteriovenous shunt might raise concern. Last, in some cases, the maturity time for a fistula may...
متن کاملVASCULAR ACCESS FOR HEMODIALYSIS: OUR EXPERIENCE WITH 3337 CASES
Over a seven year period from 1982 to 1989,3337 conduits were created in 3137 patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) as access for chronic dialysis. These included 2690 side-to-side arteriovenous fistulae (A VF), 168 end-to-side A VFs, 10 autogenous vein grafts, 51 homogenous frozen vein grafts, 109 polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) grafts, 209 emergency external arteriovenous shunts, t...
متن کامل[Vascular access for hemodialysis].
Reference is made to a personal series of vascular accesses for haemodialysis on 273 patients aged 6 months to 70 yr.

An assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of the techniques ...
متن کاملVascular Access for Hemodialysis
Patients with acute kidney failure (AKF) and chronic kidney failure (CKF) require an appropriate vascular access for hemodialysis [1]. Vascular access is needed to allow blood flow through an extracorporeal circulation system with a blood pump connected to a hemodialysis monitor driving the blood through a dialysis filter (dialysator). Satisfactory levels of blood flow range between 300 and 400...

Dr. Steve J. Schwab (Vice-Chairman, Department of Medicine, Duke University Medical Center, and Professor of Medicine, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham, North Carolina, USA): This case exemplifies the current state of the art for the management of vascular access for hemodialysis. The predominant form of vascular access currently in the United States is the polytetrafluoroethylene (PT...
