Early surgical thrombectomy improves salvage of thrombosed vascular accesses

Abstract: After acute access thrombosis, early surgical thrombectomy was associated with higher technical success and potentially improved midterm patency.

“…There were four retrospective analyses assessing the effect of time to intervention on outcome of the AV fistula [116][117][118][119]. All were inherently at very high risk of bias through selection, attrition and failing to reach the optimal information size.…”

“…A second, retrospective analysis included 59 people with thrombosis of their AV fistula who had all been referred to vascular surgery as quickly as possible [117]. Surgical thrombectomy with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty or stent placement resulted in technically successful declotting of the AV fistula in 84% of participants treated within 6 h of diagnosis.…”

“…A concomitant central vein stenosis was present in three patients that required additional venoplasty before graft declotting occurred. Three patients required majority of the patients from the insertion of a temporary vascular catheter for interim dialysis (and their associated morbidity and costs), early thrombectomy has been shown to have better outcomes in the form of higher technical success and potentially midterm patency rates (16). The National Kidney Foundation Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative guidelines on the management of thrombosed AVGs recommends a clinical success rate of 85% after thrombectomy (17).…”

“…The use of such devices in these situations, particularly as opposed to other interventional options such as use of multiple repeat angioplasties; drugeluting balloons; cutting balloons; new surgical options (e.g., creation of new access sites); or placement of long-term catheters for definitive access for dialysis, is a open for debate. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Opponents of the early use of stent grafts describe the lack of long-term outcome data, the cost of such devices, and the nonsustained benefit (>6 months) described in much of the literature as reasons against the early use of these devices. Proponents of early stent graft use counter with the argument that stent grafts provide early (6 months) benefit when compared with PTA alone, may provide added benefit when used in thrombosed grafts, and as described in these three cases may be used in salvage situations.…”
