dc.description.abstract | Purpose: The lower extremity has received its fair share of attention as a vascular access site in patients who have exhausted their upper arm vessels. However, experiences with lower extremity arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) have so far been disappointing because of high infection rates and severe limb ischemia. We report our experience with hemodialysis access from the lower extremity.Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 60 lower extremity AVGs created between January 2003 and December 2011 was performed. Age, sex, etiology of end-stage renal disease and complications were tabulated. Primary and secondary patency rates were determined.Results: The average age of the study population was 56 years and 38 patients were female. Renal failure was associated with hypertension in 40 (66.7%) patients, diabetes in 28 (46.7%) patients and cardiovascular disease in 9 (15.0%) patients. The follow-up period was 8-108 months. Fifty-four patients had bilateral central vein stenosis. Seven (11.7%) patients had primary failure of their AVG. There was no operation-related death. Primary and secondary patency rates were: 66% and 90% at 1 year, 40% and 90% at 2 years, 27% and 87% at 3 years, and 18% and 87% at 5 years, respectively. There were 105 postoperative complications that developed in 67 patients. Postoperative complications were: thrombosis (30), proximal vein stenosis (56), infection (9), bleeding with hematoma (1), perigraft seroma (3), steal syndrome (2), and pseudoaneurysm (4).Conclusion: A lower extremity AVG seems to be a viable option in patients with unusable upper extremity veins. | - |
