Recent guidelines have recommended performing native arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) in hemodialysis patients rather than synthetic grafts whenever possible. However, early failure of AVF may reach up to 50%. The purpose of this study was to assess the factors associated with early failure of such procedures in hemodialysis patients. A prospective study was performed on all patients with end-stage renal disease who had an AVF between June 2003 and March 2005. Data including patient characteristics and the type of AVF were recorded. The internal diameter of the vein and artery and intraoperative blood flow were measured. Patients were followed up for 3 months. One hundred twenty-six AVF were included in this study. Early failure was in 14 (9%) patients. The internal diameter of the vein and artery and intraoperative blood flow were significantly lower in the failure group than in the patent group. The failure rate was not significantly related to other parameters. Our data showed that intraoperative blood flow is a reliable parameter that determines the early failure of an AVF. Careful selection of the vein and the artery may reduce the rate of failure. |
