“…In patients who originally have carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), reduced blood flow to the nerves brought about by the access can cause CTS symptoms to appear. Especially in long‐term dialysis patients, in many cases, CTS symptoms appear following the construction of AVF or AVG at the elbow .…”

“…Higher incidence of CTS has been reported in patients with the side-to-end type of fistula [24]. It has been suggested by some other studies [25,26] that the side-to-side anastomosis should be avoided and the end-to-end fistula should be preferred to decrease the risk of CTS in these patients. As mentioned earlier, none of the patients in our study developed CTS, despite side-to-side AVF in all patients.…”

In cases of vascular access (VA) for hemodialysis including arteriovenous fistula and arteriovenous graft, venipuncture and hemostasis are usually repeated three times a week. Accordingly, it is assumed that VA vascular disorders are worsened following long-term hemodialysis. In particular, angiostenosis frequently occurs and results in insufficient blood flow or increased venous pressure. Additionally, stenosis is a major cause of VA occlusion. While VA intervention treatment is mainstream for VA stenosis, its major advantage lies in its less invasiveness because it is a percutaneous treatment. A further advantage of this treatment procedure is that the existing VA can be preserved intact. For practical use of VA intervention treatment, however, compliance with the therapeutic indication guideline is required. In K/DOQI of the United States, such a guideline has already been formulated based on evidence and specialist opinion, while the guideline of the European Vascular Access Society is presented in the form of a flowchart. The Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy is currently preparing a guideline for the construction and maintenance of VA, which introduces the timing and principles of repair of VA in the following six categories: (i) stenosis; (ii) occlusion; (iii) venous hypertension; (iv) steal syndrome; (v) excess blood flow; and (vi) infection. Except for infection, most of the treatments for these events involve VA intervention, thus the need for the guideline for VA intervention treatment is becoming widely recognized.
