Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: Juxta-anastomosis proximal radial artery ligation (PRAL) is a new surgical technique for reduction of excessive blood flow of radial cephalic fistulas (RCFs). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This prospective study included 37 consecutive patients (eight children and 29 adults) who underwent PRAL of high-flow RCFs causing ischaemia (n = 2), aneurysmal degeneration of the vein (n = 14), and cardiac insufficiency (n = 7) or for prevention of cardiac overload (n = 14). Mean fistula age was 2.6 years for children and 7.4 years for adults. None had diabetes. Anatomical prerequisites (side-to-end anastomosis fistula and retrograde flow in the distal radial artery) were checked by ultrasound or angiography. Division and ligation of the juxta-anastomosis proximal radial artery were performed under regional anaesthesia. Patency following ligation was estimated according to the life table method. RESULTS: The success rate was 92% (34/37). The three failures included one excessive and two insufficient reductions of flow (<33%). Mean flow reduction rates were 50% in children and 53% in adults. Primary patency rates at 1 and 2 years were 88% +/- 6% and 74% +/- 9%, respectively. Secondary patency rates were 88% +/- 6% and 78% +/- 8%, respectively. CONCLUSION: PRAL is a simple, safe, and effective technique for reduction of flow in RCFs.
