Introduction • The distal autogenous arteriovenous
fistula is the first option for permanent access for haemodialysis , permits easy repeated access to the circulation .However the primary reported failure rate is 12% to 24%
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES • To assess the factors influencing
the outcome of the fistula like quality of artery quality of vein patient on dialysis DM/HTN sex Type of anastamosis
MATERIALS &METHODS
• Retrospective analysis of 80 cases of radio-cephalic A-V fistula we operated in the last 3 years.
• Age-15 to 60 yrs• Male /female-3:1• Left/ right-72/8
Materials & Methods• Patients clinically assessed • Venous –cephalic vein at wrist and
arm• Arterial – Allen’s test• Hand exercises in pre and post op
Materials & Methods• Other factors analysed- condition of vessel wall End-side/side –side anastamosis DM/HTN whether patient started on dialysis
prior to fistula.

RESULTS• In our study predictors of poor out
come were• Poor quality of artery• Poor quality of vein• Patient on prior dialysis• Presence of diabetesSex, type of anastamosis does not seem to affect the outcome.
RESULTS• There were total of 9 failures.• 5 early-within 3 months• 4 late-Good fistula function initially as
evidenced by thrill.3 developed thrombosis with fistula closure after 6 m.
1 patient developed fistula closure following proximal vein thrombosis.
RESULTS• Of 9 patients who developed failure• 8 were diabetics ,8had a narrow
caliber vein,8 had hypertension.• Other complications wound infection- 3 patients.
DISCUSSION• Patients with end-stage renal
disease (ESRD) are dependent on long-term dialysis until transplantation is possible .
• There is consensus that the distal autogenous arteriovenous fistula is the first option for permanent access for haemodialysis (1).
DISCUSSION• It was found that patients whose fistula was
constructed before the start of dialysis had significantly better results than patients who were already on dialysis at the time of operation
• These patients were more likely to have indwelling central venous catheters as well as multiple punctures of lower arm veins during their stay in intensive care units (2,3)
DISCUSSION• previous studies have associated
female sex (4, 5,6), and greater age(5) with poor outcome,however our study fails to show them as poor prognostic factors.
DISCUSSION• In our study patients with poor
quality vein &artery had higher chances of failure ,more so if the patient was a diabetic.
CONCLUSIONS• The quality of the vessels is the most
important factor influencing the outcome of the fistula. If preoperative clinical evaluation of the wrist shows questionable vessel quality or caliber ,the surgeon must have a low threshold to consider a more proximal AV fistula particularly if the patient is diabetic.
CONCLUSIONS• we should consider creating
fistula at an early stage, preferably before dialysis has started.
