comparison between native arteriovenous fistula and graft in patients referred for hemodialysis access placement
Authors
abstract
arteriovenous fistula is considered as a prerequisite in patients with chronic renal failure undergoing hemodialysis. the purpose of this study was to compare the effectiveness and side effects if any of native vein and synthetic grafts in these patients. from april 2002 till july 2003, a total of 37 patients were referred to us for the utilization of these grafts. in 16 out of these patients we utilized native vein at the elbow joint, and in 21 patients we used polytetrafluoroethylene (ptfe) graft. in the native group, the results were better and side effects minimal and economically was in the interest of the patients. we advocate native vein as far as possible and give it a top priority.

Saphenofemoral arteriovenous fistula as hemodialysis access
BACKGROUND An upper limb arteriovenous (AV) fistula is the access of choice for haemodialysis (HD). There have been few reports of saphenofemoral AV fistulas (SFAVF) over the last 10-20 years because of previous suggestions of poor patencies and needling difficulties. Here, we describe our clinical experience with SFAVF. METHODS SFAVFs were evaluated using the following variables: immediate r...

Background and Objectives: There are different types of vascular access. We compared the patency rate for six months in ulnar-basilic fistula and Radio-Cephalic fistula for vascular access in hemodialysis patients. Methods: The study was performed on 60 patients of 50.6±13.5 years of age with end-stage renal failure undergoing hemodialysis from 2012-2014 in Imam Ali hospital in Zahedan. Pat...

This study aims to report the outcomes of nitinol and polytetrafluoroethylene covered stent placement to treat hemodialysis arteriovenous access stenosis at a single center over a five-year period. Clinical and radiological information was reviewed retrospectively. Poststent primary and secondary patency rates were determined using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Ten clinical variables were subjected to...

BACKGROUND Maintenance of adequate vascular access for hemodialysis is important in patients with end-stage renal disease. Once arteriovenous fistula (AVF) occlusion occurs, the patient should be treated with rescue therapy. This study was performed to evaluate the results of a rescue therapy for AVF occlusion. METHODS From January 2008 to December 2012, 47 patients who underwent surgical res...
full textClinical Analysis of Hemodialysis Vascular Access: Comparision of Autogenous Arterioveonus Fistula & Arteriovenous Prosthetic Graft
BACKGROUND Mature autogenous arteriovenous fistulas have better long term patency and require fewer secondary interventions compared to arteriovenous prosthetic graft. Our Study evaluated vascular patency rates and incidence of interventions in autogenous arteriovenous fistulas and grafts. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 166 vascular access operations were performed in 153 patients between De...

Introduction. Native arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the recommended vascular access for HD patients by the Dialysis Outcomes Quality Initiative (DOQI) guidelines. The aim of our study was to determine the correlation between diameter and maturation of vessels in radiocephalic AVF. Methods. A prospective cross-sectional study carried out during 2006-2007 on 96 hemodialysis patients from Hashemin...
