Abstract
-
BACKGROUND: Because the development of medicine, the survival of ESRD(end stage renal disease) patients were improved and the chance of secondary arteriovenous fistula formation was increased. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the patency rate of one of the secondary arteriovenous fistula formation.
MATERIAL AND METHOD: From January 1995 to September 1998, arteriovenous fistulae were made in 365 patients with ESRD. Among them, 62 patients underwent revisional arteriovenous fistula.
RESULT: The patency rate for revisional arteriovenous fistula was 78.8% at 6 months, 72% at 12 months, 63% at 24 months, 56.9% at 36 months.
CONCLUSION
Revision is a reliable procedure for salvaging a failed and inadequate fistula, which yields an acceptable patency rate.
