“…In such situations one's skill in small caliber anastomosis acquired through VA surgery may be very valuable. As for VA, guidelines for HD initiation and VA were published from the Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy [2,3], KDOQI [4] and the Society for Vascular Surgery [5] are available. Surgeons who use this interventional modality should customize their approach keeping these guidelines in mind.…”

Sustainable vascular access (VA) is literally a lifeline for most end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients in Japan.For the creation of an arterio-venous fistula (AVF) for hemodialysis, I introduce a method performed at our institute that can be referred to by vascular surgeons. The lecture describes the preoperative assessment of targeted veins and arteries, and general condition as well as the importance of communication between the surgeon and the nephrologist. Detailed procedures are depicted and explained.

“…Vascular accesses should provide an easy and acceptable flow, during hemodialysis. Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is known as the best way for vascular access in dialysis (4,5). AVF is created by anastomosis of an artery to a vein.…”

In a study on 100 end-stage renal disease, we found ETS arteriovenous fistulas had less complications compared to the STS technique in this patients. Please cite this paper as: Introduction:Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a global health problem which is growing in prevalence. Hemodialysis is the most common treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) which requires a permanent vascular access. Vascular accesses should have a good patency and low complication. Objectives: The present study aimed to compare side-to-side (STS) versus end-to-side (ETS) methods in antecubital arteriovenous fistulas in dialysis patients. Patients and Methods: In this randomized, single-blind clinical trial, 100 ESRD patients who scheduled for hemodialysis were divided into two groups. STS arteriovenous anastomosis was employed in one group and in the other, the ETS approach was conducted. Follow ups were done after 1, 8, and 24 weeks to detect fistula maturation and immediate or delayed complications. Results:The STS anastomosis group demonstrated higher rates of delayed maturation, vascular aneurism, and venous hypertension syndrome than ETS anastomosis group. The ETS group, however, showed higher rates of venous thrombosis and vascular stenosis. Overall, the rate of complications was 24% and 8% for STS and ETS anastomosis group respectively (P = 0.03). Conclusion:In comparison, ETS arteriovenous fistulas involve less complications than STS method in ESRD patients. However, more thrombosis and stenosis detected by ETS method. ETS arteriovenous fistulas had less delayed maturation, aneurism, venous hypertension and overall complications than STS approach. ETS arteriovenous fistulas contributes to establishing a more stable connection to hemodialysis machine to conduct a more effective hemodialysis.

“…(1,2,3,4) The improvement in AVF prevalence is a welcome trend however older patients could be disadvantaged by repeated unsuccessful attempts at surgical AVF creation and resulting overdependence on central venous catheters (CVCs). (5) The age structure of the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) population has changed considerably over the past 20 years with an increasing proportion of older patients (>75 years) receiving dialysis.…”

Type of article for submission Original manuscript ABSTRACT Purpose:Efforts to promote arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) have been successful in increasing the prevalence of AVF use as the primary vascular access for haemodialysis HD.Sustained preference for AVF use may not be the most appropriate vascular access choice for all patient groups. Arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) offer advantages of earlier use and lower primary failure rates compared to AVFs so may be preferable for patients where short term vascular access is needed. This study was designed to assess comparative mortality in different age groups following AVF formation. Methods:A prospective cohort of patients having AVF creation was recruited. Patients were subdivided into three age groups; Group A: < 50 years; Group B: 50-74 years and Group C: 75 years. Survival curves and Cox regression analysis was performed on each of these groups. Results:One hundred and thirty-four patients (n=134) were recruited into the study. The prevalence of diabetes increased significantly with age. As expected, mortality was higher in older age groups (log rank (mantel cox) 19.227; p = 0.0001). Mortality rates at one year were 0% in group A, 12.5% in group B and 29.1% in group C. Medium term mortality at four years was 7.9% in group A, 39.1% in group B and 54.8%% in group C. Conclusions:We found a significantly higher mortality rate in patients ≥75 years in comparison to those <75 years. The choice of vascular access modality should be tailored to the individual with particular reference to the patient's expected survival.
