Background: Preventative strategies that minimize hemodialysis access complications remain limited. Objective: This study aimed to address this gap by developing a Caprine cannulation model to investigate the impact of repeated cannulations on vascular access patency rates. Research design and measures: In this pilot study, a meta-analysis was conducted using experimental control data from four trials to explore the impact of Caprine breed (independent variable) on the dependent variables that affect hemodialysis cannulation, including AVF growth, AVF depth, and flow rate. Subjects: Arteriovenous Fistulas (AVFs) were created using the carotid artery and jugular vein in the necks of seven goats from the French alpine, dwarf, and pygmy breeds. All seven AVFs exhibited vessel remodeling patterns similar to that observed in humans and remained patent, enabling hemodialysis access over the 6 month study. Results: Over the course of 18 weeks, a total of 291 cannulations were completed using standard 15 g dialysis needles without complications demonstrating the feasibility of using the Caprine species as a cannulation model. The ease of access coupled with the animals’ cooperative behavior further contributes to the suitability of the Caprine species for hemodialysis investigations. Notably, no infections or clinically significant incidents were observed throughout the study. Conclusions: The stability of AVF patency and flow underscores the viability and potential of the Caprine species animal model as a valuable research platform for exploring interventions aimed at improving vascular access survival in hemodialysis patients.
