How to Prolong the Patency of VA
151
the option for PTA and stenting. As the goal of access management is to
maintain the access site for the longest period of time, we prefer surgical re-
pair prior to stent placement for any stenotic lesion that is surgically acces-
sible. This is an important patient safety issue in prolongation of access pa-
tency.
Summary
Prolonging the patency of an access circuit is a key element for patient safety. It
starts with optimal access planning utilizing DUS and surgical techniques that
minimize hemodynamic stress responsible for the development of MIH. Moni-
toring, surveillance and timely interventions play a key role in prolonging the
access patency. It is important that the access plan developed and communi-
cated to the patient gets reinforced by all personnel involved in patient care ac-
tivities.

Abstract
A great variety of thrombotic and nonthrombotic events may complicate all types of vas-
cular access (VA) procedures. Thrombotic events are the most frequent complication,
caused by stenoses in various locations, representing a common problem for arteriove-
nous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs). Monitoring AVF with physical ex-
amination by trained physicians represents an accurate method for diagnosis of mal-
function. AVF stenoses >50% in diameter should be treated either by surgical or endo-
vascular means when accompanied with access malfunction. Aneurysms and infections
represent the most frequent nonthrombotic VA complications. Access-related aneurysms
do not represent per se an indication for intervention; however, anastomotic aneurysms
and those with skin erosion should be repaired urgently to avoid rupture. Infections of
AVFs are extremely rare, while AVG could be complicated either with postoperative infec-
tions attributable to the initial procedure with an early onset and more frequently with
late infections caused by punctures, with an annual rate of 5%. Treatment options for AVG
infections comprise total or subtotal graft excision or partial excision of the involved seg-
ment only, the latter representing a VA salvage procedure but with a significantly higher
risk of recurrence.

Recommendations to Improve Patient Safety
•
Check after creation of an arteriovenous fistula or arteriovenous graft
(AVG) for palpable thrill or a bruit: The presence of a strong pulse in the
draining vein without a thrill or bruit indicates a proximal venous stenosis.
Patients need an instruction when checking their vascular access (VA) dai-
ly for bruit and thrill.

•
Failed or failing VA needs revision by surgical or endovascular means de-
pending on the location of the lesion. Check thrombosed accesses after
thrombectomy for underlying stenotic lesions that have to be corrected.
•
Anastomotic aneurysms and those with skin erosion (mostly false aneu-
rysm of AVG) should be repaired urgently to avoid rupture and life-threat-
ening hemorrhage. Patients should be informed about this complication.
•
Aneurysms are often associated with proximal stenosis, and this should be
corrected simultaneously.
•
The best policy to prevent infection is to limit the implantation of synthetic
prostheses only to patients with no autogenous options.
Introduction
The failure of vascular access (VA) represents the major cause of morbidity for
those end-stage renal disease patients on hemodialysis, and access maintenance
is the most frequent cause of hospitalization for such patients [1] . The subse-
quent extended length of stay commonly encountered in older patients is also
related to further adverse events as hospital-acquired infections and fever, pro-
longed catheterization predisposing to central venous obstruction and delay in
access revision with increased associated costs. The VA maintenance cost in-
creases 5-fold for those patients with a failed autogenous access [2] .
A great variety of thrombotic and nonthrombotic events may complicate all
types of VA procedures and necessitate a wide spectrum of rescue operations.
Stenoses and Thrombosis in Arteriovenous Fistulas or Grafts
Thrombotic events represent the most frequent complication of all VA with an
incidence rate of 0.2/patient/year for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and 0.8/pa-
tient/year for synthetic arteriovenous graft (AVG) [3] . Therefore, redo surgery
is the rule rather than exception in VA patients.
Stenosis is a common problem for AVFs and AVGs and represents the main
cause of dysfunction and thrombosis, and the choice of the best method for re-
pair depends on the location of the lesion. Access stenosis has been classified
based on its location as: juxta-anastomotic (type I), in the cannulable segment
(type II) and at the outflow into the deep venous system (type III) [4] ( fig.1 ).
There are two additional categories of stenoses not involving the access itself,
those of the central veins caused by longstanding catheters and those of the arte-
rial inflow [5] .

Juxta-anastomotic type I stenosis is the most frequent reason for access dys-
function, especially in the distal radiocephalic AVFs. With endovascular means,
in most cases the fibrotic perianastomotic tissue necessitates high-pressure or
cutting balloons and prolonged dilatation times, and therefore most authors
suggest surgical revision instead, with creation of a new anastomosis a few cen-
timeters proximally; however, in brachiocephalic AVF, a short polytetrafluor-
ethylene segment may be needed to bridge the greater distance between the ar-
tery and the vein [5, 6] .

Type II is a mid-vein cannulable segment stenosis and should be first treated
with PTA (percutaneous transluminal angioplasty) in autogenous accesses in
order to preserve the length of the needling site of the vein; however, in case of
failure an interposition graft should be inserted [4] . In this type of lesions, the
dialysis dose is usually not affected because the stenosis often falls between the
arterial and venous needles [5] .
Type I and II stenoses are not frequent in AV grafts, where type III stenosis
is the predominant type of stenosis causing access failure and should be treated
either by endovascular or open surgical means consisting of patch angioplasty
or jump graft repair depending of center’s experience and availability. Regarding
the endovascular methods of treatment, stent grafts have better patency rates in
comparison to PTA alone according to a recent randomized study [7] . Cephalic
arch stenosis is the equivalent of type III stenosis in AVF; PTA should be the first
choice as the use of stents may cause axillary vein obstruction, while surgical ce-
phalic vein transposition is an alternative option with equal patency but fewer
reinterventions [8] .
Stenoses of central veins principally induced by longstanding catheters can
become symptomatic as a result of increased flow when an ipsilateral AV fistula
is functioning distally to an obstruction. In case of complete venous outflow ob-
struction, venous hypertension with intractable upper arm painful edema occa-
sionally involving the breast and head may necessitate urgent intervention to
avoid tissue loss of the fingers. Access ligation and abandonment bring immedi-
ate relief of the complaints but requires a new access creation, which is not always
feasible. Surgical repair of the inflow obstruction is not recommended as first
choice because of the significant morbidity and mortality of such ‘exotic’ major
operations, in opposition, PTA is recommended as the treatment of choice, but
it is a matter of debate if primary stenting would be a better option [9] .
Arterial inflow stenoses represent atherosclerotic lesions proximal to the
anastomosis, and their clinical picture is usually characterized by delayed AVF
maturation. These lesions usually involving the radial artery are best treated
with PTA [10] .
All accesses should be evaluated immediately after their creation and then
routinely examined during their life span. After creation of an AVF or AVG,
there should be a palpable thrill or a bruit; the presence of a strong pulse in the
draining vein without a thrill or bruit indicates a proximal venous stenosis.
Monitoring AVF with physical examination by trained physicians represents an
accurate method for diagnosis of malfunction [11] .
AVF stenoses >50% in diameter should be treated either by surgical or endo-
vascular means when accompanied with low flow, difficulties in cannulation,
painful edema or prolonged bleeding at puncture sites [12] ( fig.2 ). None of the

currently available surveillance methods (periodic assessment using technical
devices) can reliably distinguish between stenosed VA destined to clot, and
those that will remain patent without intervention [13] . As a consequence, a per-
centage of unnecessary angioplasties are performed based on surveillance find-
ings only.
Thrombosis of AVF necessitates treatment as quickly as possible because de-
layed intervention allows the thrombus to propagate, and become fixed to the
vein wall with a local inflammation, making any thrombectomy attempt difficult
and predisposing to arterial wall damage with its risk of re-thrombosis. Throm-
bosed VA can be treated either by an open or endovascular intervention. Throm-
bectomy alone is generally insufficient unless the underlying stenotic lesion is
corrected.
Aneurysms
Aneurysms may complicate 2–10% of all types of VA [14] . These may be false
aneurysms (also called pseudoaneurysms from the Greek word pseudos: false)
and true aneurysms caused by degeneration and subsequent dilatation of the

frequent type, aneurysms in AVG occur mostly as false aneurysms and less fre-
quently as anastomotic aneurysms. The false aneurysms represent a chronic
blood extravasation through a circumscribed graft defect surrounded by throm-
bi encapsulated in a gradually developed fibrous false wall. The updated DOQI
guidelines differentiate between true and false aneurysms and suggest surgical

treatment of the enlarging false aneurysms and those exceeding twice the diam-
eter of the graft to prevent the risk of acute rupture. The indications for surgical
repair of aneurysms summarizing suggestions from guidelines and articles are
presented in table1 [15, 16] . Access-related aneurysms do not represent per se
an indication for surgery; however, anastomotic aneurysms and those with skin
erosion should be repaired urgently to avoid rupture and life-threatening hem-
orrhage ( fig.3 ).
Pseudoaneurysms can be managed either with conventional surgery or with
endovascular techniques; however, conventional surgery represents the current
standard treatment [17, 18] . Surgical correction includes resection of the in-
volved segment and new graft interposition in situ, or aneurysm ligation/exclu-
sion followed by a bypass graft adjacent to the old one via new route in cases of
suspected contamination of the sac [16] .
There are many recent series reporting results of stent graft repairs in AVG
but with small number of patients and limited follow-up; contraindications of
this method include overt graft infection, presence of skin erosion, need to cross
the elbow or axilla and lack of adequate landing zones [18, 19] . Aneurysms are
often associated with proximal stenosis and both lesions should be treated si-
multaneously [18] .
True aneurysms can be repaired with aneurysmorrhaphy ( fig.4 ), where the
excess sac of the aneurysm is resected, and a new autogenous access is recon-
structed by plicating the excess free wall [17] .
Infection
Infection of autogenous accesses is extremely rare, while AVG could be compli-
cated with two main types of infections: (1) postoperative infections attributable
to the initial access procedure with an early onset (<1 month) and an incidence
of 0.8%, representing only 6% of the total AVG infections and (2) late infections
caused by punctures, representing >50% of the total, with an annual rate of 5%
[20] . Bacteremias are 5 times more frequent in grafts than in AVF (3.1 vs. 0.6
bloodstream infections per 100 patient months) [21] . Staphylococcus species are
the most common culprits in over 70% of the cases [22] .
The difference between AVF and AVG is that infection in autogenous ac-
cesses can be treated successfully with antibiotics (and potential drainage) with
the exception of those infections involving the anastomosis because of the risk
of suture line bleeding and those complicated with septic emboli necessitating
access ligation.
