“…In a study that compared the use of one‐stage BBAVF and a 6 mm BAPTFE graft in 147 patients with similar comorbidities, absolute superiority was reported for the BBAVF group . In another retrospective study, 71 BBAVF and 114 BAPTFE cases were compared; equivalent patency rates in 1 and 2‐year follow‐up, fewer infection‐related complications and a higher patient survival rate in the BBAVF group was reported …”

Introduction: There is still controversy on the use of brachio-basilic upper arm transposition fistula (BBAVF) and prosthetic brachio-axillary vascular access grafts (BAPTFE) in patients with no suitable cephalic veins for creating an autogenous brachio-cephalic fistula.Methods: In a randomized controlled clinical trial, 60 hemodialysis patients who were not a suitable candidate for BCAVF were randomly assigned into two groups: BBAVF and BAPTFE. The patients were clinically followed up to 1 year and the patency rate and access-related complications were compared between the two groups.Findings: Access failure rate in the BBAVF and BAPTFE groups was 30.0% and 36.6%, respectively. The primary patency time was 232.73 AE 113.36 and 261.53 AE 147.37 days, respectively (P = 0.40). Thrombosis formation and infection were the two main causes for access failure, yet indicating no significant difference between the two groups (P > 0.05).Discussion: BBAVF and BAPTFE have comparable clinical outcomes in short-term follow-up. Therefore, BAPTFE can be used as an alternative vascular access for hemodialysis in patients who are not a suitable candidate for BBAVF.

“…[6,[9][10][11][12] The disadvantages of basilic vein superficialization include the possibility of vein injury during exploration and mobilization, wound complications related to the extensive dissection, longer operating times, and injury to the median and cutaneous nerves. [9,13] At our facility, native arteriovenous fistulas are our first choice for vascular access.…”

Background:This study aims to discuss the outcomes of superficialization of basilic vein technique in brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula formation and to present our experience. Methods: Between January 2006 and January 2012, 170 patients (74 males, 96 females; mean age 60.7±9.1 years; range 31 to 83 years) who underwent basilic vein superficialization surgery in our clinic were included. All patients were examined under Doppler ultrasonography preoperatively. Demographic data of the patients, maturation time and complications were recorded. The mean follow-up was 12 months. Results: Non-dominant upper limb was preferred for surgery. Of the 170 patients who were operated, 166 (97.6%) underwent hemodialysis. The mean maturation time was 61 days. Massive bleeding in the postoperative period occurred in two patients (1.2%). Wound infection was observed in eight patients (4.7%) in the early postoperative period. The most common reason for primary failure was thrombosis, which was observed in 48 patients (28.2%). The primary and secondary patency rates of the fistulas were 77% and 82%, respectively at one-year. Conclusion: Arteriovenous fistula formation through superficialization of the basilic vein offers satisfactory results in chronic hemodialysis patients with reasonable postoperative complication rate.

“…Recently, several studies have reported that the primary patency of AVF was 58-87% at 1 year and 44-67% at 2 years, and in arteriovenous grafts (AVG) it was 18-52% at 1 year and 5-31% at 2 years [9,10,11,12]. Access complications are not rare in large dialysis facilities which result in low patency.…”

The aim was to identify the risk factors of long-term vascular access complications. The study cohort consisted of 239 incident hemodialysis (HD) patients from 1998 to 2010 in a single center. Among these patients, 59.8% had initially been dialyzing with a temporary catheter. Within 3 months after starting dialysis, all catheters had been converted into permanent accesses. 45 patients incurred long-term access complications after the first 2 years of dialysis, and 34 (75.6%) had used a temporary catheter starting HD. Complication occurrence was associated with age, initiation dialysis with a catheter and heart failure by logistic regression (odds ratios were 1.04, 2.77 and 2.23, respectively; p < 0.05). The 2-year primary patency rates of arteriovenous fistulae were significantly higher than those of arteriovenous grafts (79.5 vs. 50%, p = 0.002). We concluded that age, using a catheter and heart failure in HD initiation had a strong impact on long-term access complications.
