Ongoing Care

Our patient exhibited a large tumor on his right upper arm where his former dialysis access site had been. X-ray, Doppler ultrasound, and magnetic resonance imaging scan could not fully reveal the nature of that tumor. Eventually, a surgical approach showed a giant aneurysm of the inflowing brachial artery to a partially obliterated arteriovenous fistula. This case highlights the importance of ongoing care for patients with arteriovenous shunts. Even arteriovenous fistulas, that are obliterated or no longer in use, can, especially when immunosuppressant therapy and other vascular risk factors are added to the overall cardiovascular risk, transform and endanger the health of our patients.

Brachial Vein

A brachio-brachial arteriovenous fistula with superficialization of the brachial vein and superficialization of the brachial artery are useful vascular access techniques for hemodialysis patients. However, both typically require a long skin incision from the antecubital fossa toward the axillary fossa. In addition, the brachio-brachial arteriovenous fistula in particular, which is created with not a one-stage but a two-stage procedure, requires a relatively long time of 2–3 months before it can be used for hemodialysis. Furthermore, superficialization of the brachial artery usually requires nonarterialized superficial veins for blood return. In cases where patients have no adequate superficial veins for creating an arteriovenous fistula, we have adopted a one-stage operative technique to create a brachio-brachial arteriovenous fistula with superficialization of not only the brachial vein but also the brachial artery using a short skin incision. This technique of a brachio-brachial arteriovenous fistula with superficialization of the brachial artery has several advantages over traditional approaches, including a minimally invasive procedure and early use for vascular access. To our knowledge, the presently described technique and the related data have not been previously reported in the English literature. We herein report the steps of this technique and the midterm follow-up outcomes.

Objectives: International guidelines recommend the use of autogenous vascular access. Where suitable superficial veins are unavailable deeper veins may be used as an option. In most cases, basilic veins are used when cephalic veins are unavailable; arteriovenous fistulas using the brachial vein from the deep venous network are rare. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to conduct a systematic review of the available literature evaluating the use of the brachial vein in arteriovenous fistulas. Methods: Systematic literature search of electronic databases in accordance with PRISMA was conducted. The primary outcomes of this study were primary and secondary patency rates for brachial vein arteriovenous fistulas; the secondary outcomes were the rates of access thrombosis, steal syndrome, pseudo-aneurysm and infection. Results: The 1-year primary, assisted, and secondary patency was recorded at (24%–77%), (45%–85%) and (45%–96%), respectively. The 2-year primary, assisted and secondary patency rate was recorded at (12%–46%), (19%–75%) and (19%–92%), respectively. However, the consistency regarding the reports and definitions used were highly variable. The incidence rate of infection, thrombosis and steal syndrome was 5% (0%–12%), 15.9% (9.5%–35%) and 3% (2%–6%), respectively. Conclusion: Available studies support the use of brachial veins as a reliable access option in patients with non-accessible superficial veins where an autologous option is required.
