Basilic vein transposition-radial artery fistula created using the no-touch technique
Objective:
To compare the functions and complications of forearm basilic vein transposition-arteriovenous fistula (BVT-AVF) created using the no-touch technique with that of conventional radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (RC-AVF).
Materials And Methods:
The no-touch technique was used to created basilic vein transposition-radial artery fistula in 22 patients. Another 30 patients received surgeries for RC-AVF. The fistula functions and complications were compared between these two groups.
Results:
The two groups did not differ significantly in the incidence of postoperative bleeding, limb swelling, infection, steal syndrome, fistula thrombosis, fistula aneurysm, fistula flow, fistula maturation time, Kt/v, and fistula median survival.
Conclusion:
Forearm BVT-AVF created by the no-touch technique is a good alternative access for patients in whom the standard arteriovenous fistula cannot be established.
