Highlights Abstract Introduction: Snuffbox arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is one of the most common vascular accesses for hemodialysis. Despite all the advantages, it is not usually considered the first choice of treatment. This could be primarily due to difficulty in its technical procedure and a higher probability of failure than other sites such as cubital. Therefore, the present study aimed at comparing the efficacy and patency rate between the snuffbox and the wrist AVF. Methods: Seventy-eight patients with end-stage renal disease were enrolled in this study. They were randomly assigned into the snuffbox and the wrist groups. Each participant had an appropriate vein at the time of examination and was eligible for distal AVF creation. The procedure was conducted under local anesthesia, and arteriovenous anastomosis was done in an end-to-side configuration. AVF maturation was defined by initiation of successful dialysis through the AVF 8–10 weeks postoperatively. Results: The results showed that 61% of snuffbox AVFs and 65% of wrist AVFs became matured and were used for further dialysis. Diabetes and female sex had negative impacts on AVF patency. In addition, no significant relationship was found between the patency rate and demographic as well as clinical variables such as age, hypertension, and duration of the previous dialysis. Conclusions: No significant differences were found in the maturation and patency rate between the wrist and the snuffbox AVFs. Therefore, the snuffbox fistula is recommended in the first step, as there would be a possibility for re-creation on the ipsilateral wrist once the AVF fails.

Introduction: End-stage renal disease requires treatment with dialysis or renal transplantation. For the dialysis, autologous radiocephalic (RC) or brachiocephalic (BC) arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the better option for vascular access for hemodialysis. Aims: The aim of this study is to find out the outcome between RC AVF and BC AVF. Methods: This is the retrospective study, conducted for the period of 24 months from September 2017 to September 2019 in the department of Cardiothoracic and Vascular Surgery of Bir Hospital, Nepal. RC and BC AVF were created for the assess of hemodialysis. Outcome and different complications were taken into consideration.  Results: The total number of patients included in this study was 400. The overall failure rate of autologous AV fistula was 12.75%. Out of these, the failure rate was more in RC AV fistula group, 34 (17%) than in BC AV fistula group, 17 (8.5%). The most common complication was bleeding in both groups having an overall rate of 39 (9.75%). The limb edema was more common in BC AV fistula group 16 (8.0%) then in RC AV fistula group 7(3.5%). The overall infection rate was 4.5%. Overall patency rate was 87.25%. Conclusion: Autologous RC AVF and BC AVF are the choices for vascular access for hemodialysis in patients with end-stage renal disease. BC AVF has a better patency rate than RC AVF but with the slight higher risk of complications.

Interventional radiologists developed and refined the endovascular approaches to maintenance of the permanent arteriovenous vascular accesses that are integral to the provision of hemodialysis for patients with end stage renal disease. As methods of percutaneous arteriovenous fistula creation expand the scope of IR, this chapter reviews the clinical indications and preferences pertinent to dialysis access creation with respect to National Kidney Foundation Recommendations. Accesses remain imperfect, plagued by the development of flow-limiting intimal hyperplastic stenoses, and require monitoring and maintenance to minimize complications, morbidity and mortality. The measures of dialysis access function used in the surveillance of vascular accesses that indicate potential stenosis, and the utility of pre-occlusion recanalization of these stenoses are discussed. Complications specific to dialysis access interventions are also addressed.

Abstract Background Arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are the hemodialysis access modality of choice for patients with end-stage renal disease. However, they have a high early failure rate. Good vascular access is essential to manage long-term hemodialytic treatment, but some anesthesia techniques directly affect venous diameter as well as intra- and post- operative blood flow. The main purpose of this meta-analysis was to compare the results of regional and local anesthesia for arteriovenous fistula creation in end-stage renal disease.Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to synthesize evidence from 7 randomized controlled trials (565 patients) and 2 observational studies (524 patients) aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of regional anesthesia (RA) versus local anesthesia (LA) in AVF surgical construction.Results: Pooled data showed that RA was associated with higher primary patency rates than LA (odds ratio [OR], 1.88; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.24 - 2.84; P = 0.003; I 2 = 31%; Figure 2a). Additionally, brachial artery diameter was significantly increased in the RA versus LA group (mean difference [MD] = 0.83; 95% CI: 0.75 - 0.92; P < 0.001; I 2 = 97%) and the need for intra- as well as post- operative pain killers was significantly less (RA, p = 0.0363; LA, p = 0.0318). Moreover, operation duration was significantly reduced in the RA (67.5 ± 8.9 min) versus LA (134.7 ± 14.8 min) group (p = 0.0007).Conclusions: In conclusion, compared with LA, RA shows higher primary patency rates and it also associated with significantly better intra- as well as post- operative pain control, reduced operative times, which are extremely important in patients with end-stage renal disease and severe comorbidities.
