Maturation of arteriovenous fistulas in patients with and without preexisting hemodialysis catheters.


ABSTRACT: Background:Central venous catheter (CVC) placement has been linked to systemic inflammation. This study was conducted to compare the successful maturation of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and the preoperative white blood cell (WBC) profiles between patients with and without preexisting CVCs. Materials and methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted with 550 patients who underwent first-time AVF creation. Patients were divided into three groups according to preexisting CVCs and CVC types as follows: tunneled CVC (n?=?23), nontunneled CVC (n?=?223), and no CVC (n?=?304). These three groups were compared in terms of AVF maturation and preoperative WBC profiles. Results:The mean age of the patients was 61.1?±?14.3 years. The AVF maturation rates of the tunneled CVC, nontunneled CVC and no CVC groups were 65.2%, 54.7% and 74.7%, respectively (p?
