“…As in the rest of the world, the prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Asian countries is increasing along with improved medical service for chronic dialysis (23). With improvement in the healthcare standards, many countries are finding it increasingly difficult to manage patients requiring dialysis treatment, largely because of lack of structure and organization.…”

“…In fact, various specialists including vascular surgeons, general surgeons, urologists, plastic surgeons, nephrologists, and even orthopedic surgeons are allowed to perform DA procedures. Consequently, outcome varies greatly (23). Failing accesses are not maintained or salvaged for lack of collaboration with colleges with the required skill set.…”

Current state of vascular access in Singapore

et al. 2019

This article described the current state of vascular access management for patients with end-stage renal disease in Singapore. Over the past 10 years, there has been a change in the demographics of end-stage renal disease patients. Aging population and the increase in prevalence of diabetes mellitus has led to the acceleration of chronic kidney disease and increase in incidence and prevalence of end-stage renal disease. Vascular access care has, therefore, been more complicated, with the physical, psychological, and social challenges that occur with increased frequency in elderly patients and patients with multiple co-morbidities. Arteriovenous fistula and arteriovenous graft are created by vascular surgeons, while maintenance of patency of vascular access through endovascular intervention has been a shared responsibility between surgeons, interventional radiologists, and interventional nephrologists. Pre-emptive access creation among end-stage renal disease patients has been low, with up to 80% of new end-stage renal disease patients being commenced on hemodialysis via a dialysis catheter. Access creation is exclusively performed by a dedicated vascular surgeon with arteriovenous fistula success rate up to 78%. The primary and cumulative patency rates of arteriovenous fistula and arteriovenous graft were consistent with the results from many international centers. Vascular access surveillance is not universally practiced in all dialysis centers due to its controversies, in addition to the cost and the limited availability of equipment for surveillance. Timely permanent access placement, with reduced dependence on dialysis catheters, and improved vascular access surveillance are the main areas for potential intervention to improve vascular access management.

Expert consensus on the establishment and maintenance of native arteriovenous fistula

Vascular access is the lifeline of hemodialysis patients. There are great differences in the establishment and use of vascular access in different countries and regions around the world. We believe that on the basis of good evaluation and planning, it is recommended that hemodialysis patients choose native arteriovenous fistula first. In view of the new progress of vascular access views domestic and international at home and abroad in recent years, we organized experts to recommend the establishment and maintenance of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for the Chinese population, including preoperative evaluation and planning of the establishment of AVF, AVF surgery, perioperative drug intervention measures and postoperative maintenance, and put forward suggestions for future research directions. The recommendations in this consensus are general and clinicians need to make treatment decisions based on the actual situation.

Retrospective Review of Arteriovenous Fistula Success Rate in a Multi-ethnic Asian Population

Abstract: Reasonable FUSH rates can be achieved in the study patients. Patient age, pre-operative vein mapping size and operating surgeon were shown to influence AVF success rate.
