Vascular access thrombosis is costly for hemodialysis patients. This review examines current methods and potential new targets for preventing thrombosis, emphasizing fistula over graft patency for better outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Vascular access thrombosis causes significant morbidity and cost in hemodialysis patients.
  • Arteriovenous fistula patency is superior to graft patency.
  • Early patient education and referral are crucial for developing mature, functioning fistulas in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current methods for preventing vascular access thrombosis.
  • To explore potential new targets for thrombosis prophylaxis based on thrombosis biology.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on vascular access thrombosis prophylaxis.
  • Examination of current diagnostic and interventional strategies.
  • Analysis of emerging targets in thrombosis biology.

Main Results:

  • Current prophylaxis relies on early detection and radiologic or surgical interventions.
  • Understanding thrombosis biology offers new avenues for prevention.
  • Fistula maturation and patency are key goals.

Conclusions:

  • Optimizing fistula patency is critical for hemodialysis access.
  • Early detection and intervention remain standard practice.
  • Further research into thrombosis biology may yield novel prophylactic strategies.
