Abstract Despite arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) being the preferred vascular access for haemodialysis, high primary failure rates (30-70%) and low one-year patency rates (40-70%) hamper their use. The haemodynamics within the vessels of the fistula change significantly following surgical creation of the anastomosis and can be a surrogate of AVF success or failure. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) can crucially predict AVF outcomes through robust analysis of a fistula’s haemodynamic patterns, which is impractical in-vivo. We present a proof-of-concept CFD framework for characterising the AVF blood flow prior and following surgical creation of a successful left radiocephalic AVF in a 20-year-old end-stage kidney disease patient. The reconstructed vasculature was generated utilising multiple contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) datasets. Large eddy simulations were conducted for establishing the extent of arterial and venous remodelling. Following anastomosis creation, a significant 2-3-fold increase in blood flow rate was induced downstream of the left subclavian artery. This was validated through comparison with post-AVF patient-specific phase-contrast data. The increased flow rate yielded an increase in time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS), a key marker of adaptive vascular remodelling. We have demonstrated TAWSS and oscillatory shear distributions of the transitional-flow in the venous anastomosis are predictive of AVF remodelling.

The size and expense of the ESRD program exceed all predictions made when the program was first initiated. Although the effectiveness of dialytic therapy is unquestioned, its value (quality/cost) is actively debated in this era of constricting resources. To better evaluate the quality of the ESRD program, it is essential to first define and quantitate the outcomes of dialytic care. Although mortality is a convenient outcome measure, it may be affected by many patient-specific as well as other factors that must be considered when evaluating and comparing new and existing technologies or advances. Quality of life is only beginning to be used in depth as an outcome measure, and much work is needed to standardize research methodology and thus move this area forward. The following review describes the current state of knowledge regarding outcomes of ESRD patients and proposes areas for future investigation, which should help increase the understanding of the value of the ESRD program to patients, providers, and payors.
