Surgical treatment modalities for complicated aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms of arteriovenous fistulas

TLDR
Reformative operations should be considered in cases of urgency and irresponsiveness to endovascular surgery rather than closing the fistulas directly, as it prolongs the duration of AVF patency.
Abstract
PurposeThis study was designed to determine the clinical presentation, characteristics, and management of aneurysm/pseudoaneurysm formation (APF) in dialysis access fistulas.MethodsThe treatment me...

True aneurysm in autologous hemodialysis fistulae: definitions, classification and indications for treatment.

TL;DR: The eligibility criteria in this review studies the need to assess the association of aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms with autologous AVA, which depends on several factors including skin condition, clinical symptoms, ease of cannulation and access flow.

Repair of Aneurysmal Arteriovenous Fistulae: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

TL;DR: Aneurysmorrhaphy of arteriovenous fistulae is a procedure with acceptable short and long term results, with a low complication and aneurysm recurrence rate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical management of vascular access related aneurysms to salvage dialysis access: case report and a systematic review of the literature.

TL;DR: Aggressive surgical management of VARAs is likely to become an acceptable procedure to salvage dialysis access and consistently maintain AVF or AVG function.

Recommended standards for reports dealing with arteriovenous hemodialysis accesses

TL;DR: The purpose of this document is to provide standardized definitions related to AV access procedures and to recommend reporting standards for patency and complications, to be used by surgeons, nephrologists, and interventional radiologists, that will permit meaningful comparisons amongAV access procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patency of autogenous and polytetrafluoroethylene upper extremity arteriovenous hemodialysis accesses: a systematic review.

TL;DR: The patency rate for autogenous upper extremity arteriovenous hemodialysis arterialysis accesses in adults is superior to that for PTFE counterparts, although the overall quality of the studies in the meta-analysis was less than ideal.

Complications from permanent hemodialysis vascular access.

TL;DR: Use of PTFE to construct permanent hemodialysis vascular access has a significantly higher incidence of thrombosis, infection, pseudoaneurysm formation, and limb loss and a significantly lower mean length of patency when compared with autogenous fistulas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prosthetic arteriovenous grafts for hemodialysis

TL;DR: Though more prone to complications than autogenous AVFs, AV grafts offer a short maturation period and are more amenable to thrombectomy by radiological or surgical means.
Journal ArticleDOI

The brachial artery-basilic vein arterio-venous fistula in vascular access for haemodialysis--a review paper.

TL;DR: The BBAVF has good primary and secondary patency rates with lower rates of infection than prosthetic fistulas making it a preferred secondary access procedure.
