Summary

This study presents a streamlined surgical technique for creating arteriovenous fistulas in the arm when forearm access is not possible. The modified approach yielded suitable fistulas for dialysis with abundant flow in all seven patients observed.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Nephrology
  • Dialysis Access

Background:

  • Forearm arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation is standard for hemodialysis access.
  • Inability to create forearm AVFs necessitates alternative surgical strategies.
  • Arm-based AVFs offer a viable option when forearm access is contraindicated or impossible.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a modified surgical technique for creating AVFs between major arm vessels.
  • To evaluate the technical feasibility and initial patency of these arm fistulas.
  • To establish a streamlined approach for challenging AVF creation.

Main Methods:

  • A streamlined fistula connection was surgically created in seven patients.
  • Connections were established between the basilic vein and brachial artery (3 patients) or cephalic vein and brachial artery (4 patients).
  • Patient demographics included 2 men and 5 women aged 58-78 years, with a maximum follow-up of 30 months.

Main Results:

  • All seven fistulas were suitable for dialysis.
  • The fistulas demonstrated abundant blood flow (yield) during the observation period.
  • The streamlined technique proved effective in achieving functional dialysis access.

Conclusions:

  • The modified technique for arm arteriovenous fistulas is a technically successful solution for patients requiring hemodialysis access.
  • Streamlined arm fistulas can provide adequate and durable vascular access.
  • Further long-term studies are warranted to confirm the longevity and overall efficacy of this approach.
