Stent grafts improved patency of ruptured hemodialysis vascular accesses.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to compare stent graft with balloon tamponade for ruptured dialysis access during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Patients over an 8-year period (2010-2018) were identified from a database of 11,609 procedures. The primary endpoint was target lesion primary patency at 12 months. A total of 143 patients who had rupture dialysis access were enrolled, of whom 52 were salvaged by stent grafts and 91 were salvaged by balloon tamponade. The 6-month target lesion primary patency was greater in the stent graft group than in the balloon tamponade group (66.7% vs. 29.5%, P < 0.001). The benefit of stent grafts was sustained for 12 months (52.5% vs. 9.0%, P < 0.001). The stent grafts increased the median time from the index procedure to the next intervention in the ruptured area by 171 days (260 vs. 89 days) at 12 months. There was no significant difference in the access circuit patency rates at 6 months (25.5% vs. 19.8%, P = 0.203) and 12 months (12.0% vs. 5.8%, P = 0.052). The patency results of the stent grafts remained after the multivariable adjustment analysis. Compared to balloon tamponade alone, stent grafts provided superior target lesion primary patency at 6 and 12 months. The access circuit patency rates were similar.

Project description:BACKGROUND:In this single-center, retrospective observational study, we assessed the long-term patency of vascular access (VA) after first VA placement to uncover independent risk factors associated with VA patency in Asian hemodialysis (HD) patients stratified by age. We also investigated factors associated with VA patency among older HD patients according to the type of VA in the overall study population. METHODS:The study period was from January 2011 to December 2013. A total of 651 chronic HD patients with confirmed first upper-extremity VA placement were enrolled, and their records were analyzed retrospectively. A total of 445 patients (68.4%) made up the nonelderly group (<?65?years), and 206 patients (31.6%) were in the elderly group (? 65?years). Study outcomes were defined as primary or secondary VA patency. RESULTS:Autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) was more common in the nonelderly group (P?<? 0.01). Kaplan-Meier curve survival analysis indicated that primary patency was longer in the nonelderly group (P?<? 0.01); secondary patency, however, was similar between groups (P?=?0.37). The multivariate analysis of factors associated with primary VA patency revealed that increased age (hazard ratio [HR], 1.02; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.03; P?<? 0.01) was associated with shorter primary patency, and AVF (HR, 0.38; 95% CI, 0.28-0.51; P?<? 0.01) was associated with longer primary patency. AVF (HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.37-0.87; P?=?0.010) and diabetes mellitus (HR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.07-2.29; P?=?0.02) were independently associated with longer and shorter secondary patency periods, respectively; however, increased age was not a risk factor for decreased secondary patency. CONCLUSIONS:Increased age was associated with shorter primary patency but not secondary patency, whereas AVF placement was associated with longer primary and secondary patency. Considering the similar rates of secondary patency between groups and the superior patency of AVF compared to arteriovenous graft, a fistula-first strategy should be applied to appropriate older patients.

Project description:ObjectiveThe porcine arteriovenous graft model is commonly used to study hemodialysis vascular access failure, with most studies using a bilateral, paired-site approach in either the neck or femoral vessels. In humans, left- and right-sided central veins have different anatomy and diameters, and left-sided central vein catheters have worse outcomes. We assessed the effect of laterality on arteriovenous prosthetic graft patency and hypothesized that left-sided carotid-jugular arteriovenous prosthetic grafts have reduced patency in the porcine model.MethodsArteriovenous polytetrafluoroethylene grafts were placed ipsilaterally or bilaterally in 10 Yorkshire male pigs from the common carotid artery to the internal jugular vein. Ultrasound measurements of blood flow velocities and diameters were assessed before graft placement. Animals were sacrificed at 1 week, 2 weeks, or 3 weeks. Patency was determined clinically; grafts and perianastomotic vessels were excised and analyzed with histology and immunostaining.ResultsAt baseline, left- and right-sided veins and arteries had similar blood flow velocities. Although internal jugular veins had similar diameters at baseline, left-sided carotid arteries had 11% smaller outer diameters (P = .0354). There were 10 left-sided and 8 right-sided polytetrafluoroethylene grafts placed; only 4 of 10 (40%) grafts were patent on the left compared with 7 of 8 (88%) grafts patent on the right (P = .04). Left-sided grafts had increased macrophages at the arterial anastomosis (P = .0007). Left-sided perianastomotic arteries had thicker walls (0.74 vs 0.60 mm; P = .0211) with increased intima-media area (1.14 vs 0.77 mm2; P = .0169) as well as a trend toward 38% smaller luminal diameter (1.6 vs 2.5 mm; P = .0668) and 20% smaller outer diameter (3.0 vs 3.7 mm; P = .0861). Left- and right-sided perianastomotic veins were similar histologically, but left-sided veins had decreased expression of phosphorylated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (P = .0032) and increased numbers of α-actin-positive smooth muscle cells (P = .0022).ConclusionsLeft-sided arteriovenous grafts are associated with reduced short-term patency compared with right-sided grafts in the Yorkshire pig preclinical model of arteriovenous prosthetic grafts. Laterality must be considered in planning and interpreting surgical preclinical models.
