چکیده

PURPOSE Balloon-assisted maturation (BAM) is emerging as a salvage management for arteriovenous fistula maturation failure (AVF MF). However, BAM is a relatively new, yet controversial technique for AVF maturation. Therefore, we evaluated the effectiveness of BAM for AVF MF. METHODS Between January 2012 and December 2014, 249 AVFs were created. The total MF rate was 24.8%. But, only 110 AVFs were enrolled, including 74 brachiocephalic (BC) AVFs and 36 radiocephalic (RC) AVFs. The follow-up period was 12 months. Among those, there were 42 MFs (22 BC AVFs and 20 RC AVFs) and 68 maturation successes (MS) (52 BC AVFs and 16 RC AVFs). BAM was involved in MF group. We compared the clinical characteristics, AVF flows, and AVF flow ratios of MF and MS groups. Also, we evaluated the etiology, management, and result of MF. RESULTS There was no difference in clinical characteristics between MF and MS groups. In MF group, 39 balloon angioplasties (BAs) for 42 AVF MFs were performed. Number of BA was 1.45 ± 0.57 and duration of BA was 21.30 ± 21.24 weeks. BAM rate was 46.2%. For 1 year after AVF creation, AVF flows of MS group were significantly larger than those of MF group (P < 0.05) but there was no difference in AVF flow ratio between MF and MS groups (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION BA for AVF MF is a relatively applicable and effective modality. Although a large volume study is necessary, we suggest BAM is an effective salvage management for AVF MF.

Balloon-Assisted Creation and Maturation of an Arteriovenous Fistula in a Patient with Small-Caliber Vasculature

The major problem associated with the creation of an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), which is the optimal form of vascular access for hemodialysis, is the fact that fistulas do not necessarily mature into a usable vascular access, requiring subsequent revision and construction of another access. The caliber of the vessels used for fistula creation is a pivotal factor predicting the presumable matu...

پیش‌بینی شکست زودرس فیستولهای شریانی- وریدی بر مبنای معاینه در خاتمه جراحی

Background: For patients requiring chronic hemodialysis, the preferred site for vascular access is an autogenous arteriovenous fistula. Although a properly formed fistula is advantageous because it is less susceptible than other types of vascular accesses to infection and clot formation and can last longer than any other types of vascular access, AV fistula has a high rate of early failure that...

Stent Grafts Can Convert Unusable Upper Arm Arteriovenous Fistulas into a Functioning Hemodialysis Access: A Retrospective Case Series

INTRODUCTION Not all newly created arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) successfully mature and develop into a functioning access for hemodialysis. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and balloon-assisted maturation (BAM) have been utilized to either treat flow-limiting stenoses or to promote and accelerate maturation. We hypothesized that unusable upper arm AVFs can be rescued by conversion t...

Background: Hemodialysis is the sole way for management of patients with End Stage Renal Disorders (ESRD). Nowadays, inserting arteriovenous fistula is one of the most common methods for effective hemodialysis. Several factors have been reported for failure of arteriovenous fistulas such as diabetes, biochemical factors, low hemoglobin and increased level of blood calcium and phosphorus. Decisi...
