Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to analyse the influencing factors of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) ultrasound-guided restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). METHODS This was a retrospective trial. The clinical data and ultrasound examination data of patients in maintenance haemodialysis who received ultrasound-guided PTA for AVF stenosis at our hospital from January 2018 to December 2020 were retrospectively analysed. The fistula patency and the relationship between age, dialysis age, fistula service age, combined hypertension, diabetes, hypoproteinaemia, stenosis type, fistula location, and patency rate after the operation were evaluated. RESULTS A total of 128 participants were evaluated. The results showed that being over 65 years old, with complications from hypertension, diabetes, and hypoproteinaemia, are all risk factors affecting the patency of postoperative internal fistulas. Compared with lumen stenosis, the patency rate of hyperplastic endothelial stenosis (p = 0.014) and thrombotic stenosis (p = 0.017) was lower, and the difference was statistically significant. The patency rate of the mixed site (p = 0.010), the anastomotic site (p = 0.041), and the cephalic vein near the anastomotic site (p = 0.018) was lower than the forearm cephalic vein, and the difference was statistically significant. CONCLUSION Age, hypertension complications, diabetes complications, hypoproteinaemia, and the type and location of the AVF stenosis were essential for vascular patency of internal fistulas after PTA. Other risk factors of restenosis after PTA still need further research.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Maintenance of vascular access (VA) patency after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is important and remains a challenge despite VA monitoring and surveillance. The aim of this study was to examine factors affecting the post-PTA arteriovenous access (AVA) patency in patients who have been on close VA monitoring and surveillance for access flow. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. SETTING A single medical centre in Taiwan. PARTICIPANTS Records of patients who received chronic haemodialysis between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups (without or with PTA intervention on AVA). PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME Patients were followed until reintervention PTA, termination or abandoned VA or end of study. In addition to routine monitoring, VA flow surveillance was performed every 3 months for detection of VA dysfunction adhering to Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative guidelines. RESULTS A total of 508 patients were selected for study inclusion (with PTA, n=231; without PTA, n=277). At baseline, variables that differed between groups included malignancy and levels of albumin, uric acid, potassium, phosphorous, high-density lipoprotein, total bilirubin and ferritin (all p<0.05). Significant between-group differences were observed for β-adrenergic blocking agents (with PTA, 49.8%; without PTA, 37.5%; p, 0.007) and ADP inhibitors (with PTA, 23.8%; without PTA, 11.2%; p<0.001). Among patients with PTA, those with acute myocardial infarction, high ferritin level or arteriovenous graft (AVG) had a significantly higher risk of reintervention post-PTA (p<0.05). Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors, thiazolidinediones, ADP inhibitors, and warfarin use were predictors of post-PTA patency (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS AVG access type, acute myocardial infarction, and high ferritin levels are risk factors for re-intervention post-PTA. These findings may be useful in the development of prophylactic strategies for monitoring VA function and tailoring surveillance programs for these dialysis patients.

Predictors associated with early and late restenosis of arteriovenous fistulas and grafts after percutaneous transluminal angiography. ANNALS OF TRANSLATIONAL MEDICINE 2021; 9:132. [PMID: 33569434 PMCID: PMC7867940 DOI: 10.21037/atm-20-7690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2020] [Accepted: 01/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to assess postintervention patency and analyze the predictive factors associated with early and late restenosis after intervention in hemodialysis arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) and arteriovenous grafts (AVG). METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed 284 hemodialysis patients who underwent percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) due to AVF and AVG stenosis. A total of 350 PTA procedures were performed. Clinical, anatomical, biochemical, and technical variables were analyzed. Using univariate and multivariate analyses, we assessed the postintervention patency of PTA by follow-up, and identified the predictive factors taking into account competing risks. RESULTS Postintervention patency rates at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months were 86.5%, 66.4%, 42.6%, and 29.8%, respectively, with a median patency duration of 11±0.71 months. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the patency rate of the AVF group (n=271) was dramatically higher than the AVG group (n=79) at 3, 6, and 12 months after PTA, respectively (88.9% vs. 78.5%, 69.0% vs. 57.4%, 48.8% vs. 20.0%, P<0.01). Cox survival analysis revealed that the factors associated with postintervention patency of AVF included age of fistulas, serum albumin (ALB) levels, location of stenoses, lesion length longer than 2 cm, multiple stenoses, and maximal pressure of dilatation lower than 16 atm. In addition, factors related to postintervention patency of AVG included the presence of diabetes and hypertension, and serum ALB. CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrated that the risk factors associated with postintervention patency of AVF included age of fistulas, lower levels of serum ALB, location of stenoses, lesion length longer than 2 cm, multiple stenoses, and maximal pressure of dilatation lower than 16 atm. In addition, risk factors related to postintervention patency of AVG included the presence of diabetes and lower levels of serum ALB, while the presence of hypertension was found to be a protective factor for reducing patency loss of AVG. Among all these factors, serum ALB and multiple stenoses tended to predict early restenosis, while pressure of dilatation tended to predict late restenosis.

Abstract
Background: Although percutaneous transluminal angioplasty has been established as a first-line therapy for access failure in dialysis, there are few reports on primary patency after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. We investigated factors associated with primary patency following the first percutaneous transluminal angioplasty performed after vascular access construction in patients with arteriovenous fistula, including blood flow volume before and after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty and previously reported factors. Methods: We used medical records at six dialysis centers to retrospectively identify and analyze prognostic factors for primary patency after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in 159 patients with arteriovenous fistula who underwent initial percutaneous transluminal angioplasty after vascular access construction. Results: Multivariate analysis with the Cox proportional hazard model showed that primary patency after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in patients with arteriovenous fistula was significantly associated with lesion length (hazard ratio, 1.76; 95% confidence interval, 1.01–3.07; P = 0.045), and blood flow volume after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (hazard ratio, 0.71; 95% confidence interval, 0.60–0.84; P < 0.001). When blood flow volume after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was classified into three categories, risks of outcome events defining the end of primary patency after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty were significantly lower for 400–630 mL/min (hazard ratio, 0.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.21–0.68; P = 0.001) and >630 mL/min (hazard ratio, 0.16; 95% confidence interval, 0.06–0.40; P < 0.001) compared with <400 mL/min. Conclusion: Our study showed that blood flow volume after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty is an important prognostic factor for primary patency after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in patients with arteriovenous fistula.

Abstract
Introduction: Arteriovenous fistulas are the best form of vascular access for
haemodialysis. A radiological balloon angioplasty is the standard treatment
for a clinically relevant stenosis, but the recurrence rate is high. Data on
factors associated with recurrence are limited. Methods: A single centre, retrospective analysis was performed for 124 consecutive
patients who had successful interventions for dysfunctional arteriovenous
fistulae, to examine factors associated with post-intervention patency.
Follow-up was at least 1 year for all patients. Variables associated with
primary and cumulative patency were pre-specified and assessed using both
un-adjusted (univariate) and adjusted Cox proportional hazards models.
Analysis was repeated for a subgroup of 80 patients with a single lesion
only in order to examine the potential effects of stenotic lesion
characteristics on patency. Results: Factors found to have a significant association with poorer outcomes (less
time to loss of patency) included thrombosis at the time of intervention and
a history of previous intervention. Fistula age (log days) was significantly
associated with better outcomes (greater time to loss of patency). Non-white
ethnicity, lesion length, and patient age were also significantly associated
with accelerated loss of patency. Discussion: The factors we have identified as linked to poor outcome may help to identify
patients in whom a balloon angioplasty is unlikely to provide a durable
outcome. This may prompt exploring alternative treatment or dialysis options
at an early stage.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Inflammation is relevant in restenosis of atherosclerotic vascular diseases, but its role in dialysis arteriovenous fistula remains unknown. In animal studies, upregulation of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 has been shown in venous segments of arteriovenous fistula. We, therefore, aimed to investigate serial changes in circulating monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty of dialysis arteriovenous fistulas and its relation to restenosis. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Fifty-nine patients with dysfunctional arteriovenous fistulas that were referred for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty were enrolled prospectively between January of 2010 and July of 2012. Three of them were excluded due to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty failure or acute infection. Blood was sampled from arteriovenous fistulas at baseline, 2 days, 2 weeks, and 3 months after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Clinical follow-up was continued monthly for 3 months. Angiographic follow-up was arranged at the end of 3 months. Seventeen patients without significant stenosis were enrolled as the control group. RESULTS Fifty-six patients completed clinical follow-up. Significant increases in monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 were observed at 2 days and 2 weeks (both P<0.001) after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Twenty-three (41%) patients had symptomatic restenosis. The restenosis group had a higher percentage change in monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 levels at 2 days (median =47%; interquartile range, 27%-65% versus median =17%; interquartile range, 10%-25%; P<0.001) after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty compared with the patent group. Fifty-two patients completed angiographic follow-up. A positive correlation between relative luminal loss and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 increase at 2 days after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was found (r=0.53; P<0.001). In multivariate analysis, postangioplasty monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 increase at 2 days was an independent predictor of restenosis. Using receiver operator characteristic analysis, >25% postangioplasty increase of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 was significantly associated with restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (hazard ratio, 5.36; 95% confidence interval, 1.81 to 15.8). CONCLUSIONS Circulating monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 levels were elevated 2 days and 2 weeks after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Early postangioplasty increase of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 level was associated with restenosis of arteriovenous fistulas.

Abstract
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is an established treatment for dysfunctional hemodialysis fistulas. This article systematically reviews evidence for predictors of patency after PTA. Outcomes assessed were primary, assisted primary, and secondary patency after intervention, and findings were summarized descriptively. This review included 11 nonrandomized observational studies of 965 fistulas in 939 patients. Follow-up ranged from 0 days to 10 years. Study quality was overall suboptimal. Newer fistulas and longer lesion length may be associated with primary patency loss after PTA. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings, to identify potentially modifiable factors, and to guide the testing of new endovascular devices.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The complications of vascular access are the most imperative etiology for hospitalization, morbidity and mortality in chronic hemodialysis. The most prevalent complication of central catheter is dysfunction due to thrombosis. Aspirin is an anti-aggregative platelet drug that may increase the patency of permanent catheters (perm-cath). OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of Aspirin in perm-cath survival. PATIENTS AND METHODS This study included a total of 185 ESRD cases according to the inclusion criteria for perm-cath insertion in hemodialysis. One hundred and eighty patients following perm-cath insertion had proper blood flow through perm-cath during hemodialysis. Patients were randomly divided between intervention (80 mg/day Aspirin initiated a day following catheter insertion) and control (placebo) groups. The average time that the perm-cath was functional was noted. Demographic characteristics included comorbidities and past history were also used to address probable influence on perm-cath function and patency. RESULTS The mean survival time of the catheter in Aspirin group was significantly higher than the control group (5.3 ± 4.7 month versus 3.9 ± 2.7 month, P = 0.012). No significant difference in major complications of Aspirin use (such as GI bleeding) was noted between two groups (P = 0.52). In terms of the patient's demographic characteristics, those of the female gender and a history of diabetes mellitus were found to have significant influence on median survival rate of the catheters (P = 0.021, 0.043 respectively). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that Aspirin use following perm-cath insertion might be beneficial for catheter survival. This increased survival time might enable patient's use of AVF maturation for long term dialysis access.
