An estimated 45&#160;000 patients are on renal replacement therapy in Spain &#40;1000 patients per 1000&#160;000 inhabitants&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> In addition&#44; this population is aging and show an increasing prevalence of diabetes&#44; accompanied by an increased proportion of prosthetic grafts or arteriovenous fistulas &#40;AVF&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Prosthetic AVF are associated with increased morbidity&#44; as well as lower primary and secondary patency as compared to native AVF&#44; and require reoperations more often&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span> As such&#44; these vascular accesses continue to produce substantial rates of hospitalisations and morbidity in patients on haemodialysis&#44; and they are a constant source of headache for nephrologists and the nursing staff charged with daily patient management in haemodialysis units&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Primary and secondary patency of prosthetic vascular accesses continue to be lower than desired so in recent years growing interest has been devoted to preoperative mapping strategies and follow-up regimens&#44; both in haemodialysis sessions by nephrologists and in visits for high resolution imaging of vascular accesses&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Preoperative evaluation with Doppler ultrasound before creating a new vascular access is currently recommended by KDOQI and European guidelines&#46; Several studies in the medical literature have correlated preoperative mapping by Doppler ultrasound with a significant increase in primary patency of the fistula&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> However&#44; more recent studies have placed doubts in the usefulness of Doppler ultrasound as a strategy for improving patency in prosthetic arteriovenous grafts&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Contrasting results have been reported in studies of follow-up protocols for vascular accesses&#46; Observational studies have suggested that Doppler ultrasound is useful for improving vascular access results&#44; whereas randomised studies have come to the opposite conclusion&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> In this sense&#44; intensive clinical follow-up by the nursing staff in haemodialysis units plays a key role&#46; We should also highlight the role of the nephrologist as a driving force between the detection of the problem by the nurse and resolution of the issue by the vascular surgeon responsible for the vascular access&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The aim of our study was to evaluate the impact of a specific unit for vascular accesses and intensive follow-up on the patency of humero-axillary AVF&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">PATIENTS AND METHOD</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Between January 2005 and December 2009&#44; 108 humero-axillary AVF were performed at our hospital&#46; In June 2007&#44; a specific unit for vascular accesses was established&#44; in which preoperative Doppler ultrasound tests were performed&#44; following the recommendations of the KDOQI guidelines&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span> with follow-up sessions one month after the procedure and every three months afterwards&#46; These intervals were shortened if the attending nephrologist deemed it necessary&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The 108 patients were divided into 2 groups&#58; a control group&#44; which consisted of 51 fistulas that were created before June 2007&#44; when the vascular access unit was established&#44; and the vascular access unit &#40;AVF-U&#41; group&#44; which included 57 fistulas performed between June 2007 and December 2009&#46; Ours was a retrospective study&#44; comparing two different time periods separated by this newly established protocol&#46; We also recorded demographic variables such as age&#44; sex&#44; and vein and artery diameters using preoperative ultrasound mapping&#46; The clinical variables evaluated were diabetes mellitus &#40;DM&#41;&#44; arterial hypertension &#40;AHT&#41;&#44; and dyslipidaemia &#40;DL&#41;&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The preoperative assessment in the control group consisted of a physical examination and venography in select cases&#46; The AVF-U group was assessed using preoperative Doppler ultrasound&#44; measuring humeral artery and axillary vein diameters&#46; Venography was indicated in cases where indirect signs of central venous occlusion or stenosis were observed&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Follow-up during haemodialysis treatment was established in both groups&#46; Criteria for AVF failure included dynamic venous pressure &#62;200mm Hg or flows &#60;350ml&#47;min&#46; An absence of pulse or murmurs upon auscultation was considered indicative of an obstructed access&#44; which was confirmed using Doppler ultrasound in the AVF-U group&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In the AVF-U group&#44; we also performed follow-up sessions with Doppler ultrasound one month after the intervention and every three months afterwards&#44; except when the nephrologist suspected of AVF failure and indicated further evaluations&#46; At each follow-up visit&#44; we measured peak systolic velocity in the proximal artery&#44; arterial anastomosis&#44; pathway&#44; venous anastomosis and distal vein&#44; as well as the flow rate at the middle third of the pathway&#46; We defined significant stenosis as an increase in peak systolic velocity &#62;2x in the AVF pathway or &#62;4x in the anastomoses&#44;

an increase in the prevalence of DM&#44; higher rates of long-term dialysis patients&#44; and increased use of high-efficiency dialysis&#46; This change in demographics of the population on dialysis treatment has led to an increasing use of prosthetic AVF&#44; strategies for preoperative mapping&#44; and Doppler ultrasound follow-up regimens in order to improve the long-term patency of vascular accesses&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The usefulness of vessel mapping by Doppler ultrasound in preoperative studies for AVF has been recognised for many years&#46; Doppler ultrasound yields very useful information regarding the diameter&#44; level of calcification&#44; and presence of haemodynamically significant lesions in radial and humeral arteries&#46; These factors have been employed as predictive factors for the maturation period of an AVF&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">9</span> They also provide information regarding patency&#44; distensibility&#44; and diameter of the veins being analysed&#44; which is of great importance when selecting the optimal vein for performing the AVF&#44; according to a study by Van der Linden et al<span class="elsevierStyleSup">10 </span>from 2007&#46; Silva et al<span class="elsevierStyleSup">11 </span>highlighted the importance of preoperative mapping by Doppler ultrasound&#44; concluding that preoperative Doppler ultrasound reduces the rate of early AVF thrombosis and increases the percentage of autologous AVF&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In contrast&#44;

a Doppler ultrasound analysis is not necessary for adequate planning of an AVF&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In our study&#44; Doppler ultrasound preoperative mapping did not increase significantly the primary or secondary patency of humero-axillary AVF&#44; which is in accordance with a Canadian meta-analysis<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span> published in 2008&#44; in which no evidence was found to demonstrate a benefit of preoperative mapping with Doppler ultrasound in prosthetic AVF&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Silva et al performed a study in 1998 in which they analysed patency values by vein diameter as measured by preoperative Doppler ultrasound&#44; and established a minimum venous diameter of 4mm for prosthetic AVF&#46; In our study&#44; we observed that primary patency was significantly lower in humero-axillary AVF with an axillary venous diameter &#60;5mm&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3&#44;11</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">As regards the follow-up of prosthetic AVF&#44; contrasting results can be found&#46; Several observational studies highlighted the importance of Doppler ultrasound follow-up of AVF for haemodialysis&#44; describing an increased patency and decreased need for reoperations&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">13</span> Shemesh<span class="elsevierStyleSup">14</span> in 2004 published a study in which a secondary patency of over 80&#37;

although this difference was not statistically significant&#46; Furthermore&#44; we did observe a decrease in both the number of reoperations per patient and the number or reoperations due to obstructions in the AVF-U group&#46; This could be due to a better identification of vascular accesses with a poor prognosis&#44; and early reoperations in failing AVF&#46; We must keep in mind that&#44; since the specific vascular access unit was established&#44; the procedures performed for AVF have been carried out mainly by the vascular surgery department&#44; instead of the interventional radiology one&#46; Vascular surgeons perform the vast majority of vascular access repairs&#44; providing the best solution for each case &#40;conventional or endovascular surgery&#41;&#44; which may also have influenced the results&#44; since the surgeon is capable of identifying with a greater level of accuracy those accesses in which a repair is contraindicated due to a poor prognosis&#46; In our case&#44; the interventional radiologist plays an important supporting role in the treatment of obstructive&#47;stenosing lesions of the central veins&#44; where radiological equipment available is particularly necessary&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">CONCLUSION</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The establishment of a specific unit for vascular accesses with intensive ultrasound follow-up did not improve the patency of humero-axillary AVF&#46; Preoperative mapping by Doppler ultrasound allowed us to identify fistulas with a greater risk of obstruction&#44; and an axillary vein diameter &#60;5mm is a factor for a worse prognosis of the patency of humero-axillary AVF&#46; Although intensive follow-up decreased the number of reoperations needed in these accesses due to obstruction&#44; and Doppler ultrasound can be a very useful tool in monitoring these fistulas&#44; the follow-up of these vascular accesses should take place in a clinical context&#44; based on data from haemodialysis sessions&#46; Ultrasound should only be used in cases of suspected AVF failure&#46; In these cases&#44; the nephrologist plays a key role&#44; and communication between the nephrologist and the vascular surgery team charged with maintaining the vascular access is also of utmost relevance so as to achieve the final objective of this procedure&#44; which is to extend the life span of vascular accesses in haemodialysis&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><span class="elsevierStyleBold">Conflicts of interest</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">&#160;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The authors affirm that they have no conflicts of interest related to the content of this article&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara"><a href="grande&#47;11221&#95;16025&#95;30173&#95;en&#95;f1&#95;11221&#46;jpg" class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs"><img src="11221_16025_30173_en_f1_11221.jpg" alt="Kaplan-Meier&#46;

An estimated 45&#160;000 patients are on renal replacement therapy in Spain &#40;1000 patients per 1000&#160;000 inhabitants&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span> In addition&#44; this population is aging and show an increasing prevalence of diabetes&#44; accompanied by an increased proportion of prosthetic grafts or arteriovenous fistulas &#40;AVF&#41;&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Prosthetic AVF are associated with increased morbidity&#44; as well as lower primary and secondary patency as compared to native AVF&#44; and require reoperations more often&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span> As such&#44; these vascular accesses continue to produce substantial rates of hospitalisations and morbidity in patients on haemodialysis&#44; and they are a constant source of headache for nephrologists and the nursing staff charged with daily patient management in haemodialysis units&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Primary and secondary patency of prosthetic vascular accesses continue to be lower than desired so in recent years growing interest has been devoted to preoperative mapping strategies and follow-up regimens&#44; both in haemodialysis sessions by nephrologists and in visits for high resolution imaging of vascular accesses&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Preoperative evaluation with Doppler ultrasound before creating a new vascular access is currently recommended by KDOQI and European guidelines&#46; Several studies in the medical literature have correlated preoperative mapping by Doppler ultrasound with a significant increase in primary patency of the fistula&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span> However&#44; more recent studies have placed doubts in the usefulness of Doppler ultrasound as a strategy for improving patency in prosthetic arteriovenous grafts&#46;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Contrasting results have been reported in studies of follow-up protocols for vascular accesses&#46;

108 humero-axillary AVF were performed at our hospital&#46; In June 2007&#44; a specific unit for vascular accesses was established&#44; in which preoperative Doppler ultrasound tests were performed&#44; following the recommendations of the KDOQI guidelines&#44;<span class="elsevierStyleSup">7</span> with follow-up sessions one month after the procedure and every three months afterwards&#46; These intervals were shortened if the attending nephrologist deemed it necessary&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The 108 patients were divided into 2 groups&#58;

Ours was a retrospective study&#44; comparing two different time periods separated by this newly established protocol&#46; We also recorded demographic variables such as age&#44; sex&#44; and vein and artery diameters using preoperative ultrasound mapping&#46; The clinical variables evaluated were diabetes mellitus &#40;DM&#41;&#44; arterial hypertension &#40;AHT&#41;&#44; and dyslipidaemia &#40;DL&#41;&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">The preoperative assessment in the control group consisted of a physical examination and venography in select cases&#46; The AVF-U group was assessed using preoperative Doppler ultrasound&#44; measuring humeral artery and axillary vein diameters&#46; Venography was indicated in cases where indirect signs of central venous occlusion or stenosis were observed&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">Follow-up during haemodialysis treatment was established in both groups&#46; Criteria for AVF failure included dynamic venous pressure &#62;200mm Hg or flows &#60;350ml&#47;min&#46; An absence of pulse or murmurs upon auscultation was considered indicative of an obstructed access&#44; which was confirmed using Doppler ultrasound in the AVF-U group&#46;</p><p class="elsevierStylePara">In the AVF-U group&#44; we also performed follow-up sessions with Doppler ultrasound one month after the intervention and every three months afterwards&#44; except when the nephrologist suspected of AVF failure and indicated further evaluations&#46; At each follow-up visit&#44; we measured peak systolic velocity in the proximal artery&#44; arterial anastomosis&#44; pathway&#44; venous anastomosis and distal vein&#44; as well as the flow rate at the middle third of the pathway&#46; We defined significant stenosis as an increase in peak systolic velocity &#62;2x in the AVF pathway or &#62;4x in the anastomoses&#44;

an increase in the prevalence of DM&#44; higher rates of long-term dialysis patients&#44; and increased use of high-efficiency dialysis&#46; This change in demographics of the population on dialysis treatment has led to an increasing use of prosthetic AVF&#44;

This could be due to a better identification of vascular accesses with a poor prognosis&#44; and early reoperations in failing AVF&#46; We must keep in mind that&#44; since the specific vascular access unit was established&#44; the procedures performed for AVF have been carried out mainly by the vascular surgery department&#44; instead of the interventional radiology one&#46; Vascular surgeons perform the vast majority of vascular access repairs&#44;

Preoperative mapping by Doppler ultrasound allowed us to identify fistulas with a greater risk of obstruction&#44; and an axillary vein diameter &#60;5mm is a factor for a worse prognosis of the patency of humero-axillary AVF&#46; Although intensive follow-up decreased the number of reoperations needed in these accesses due to obstruction&#44; and Doppler ultrasound can be a very useful tool in monitoring these fistulas&#44; the follow-up of these vascular accesses should take place in a clinical context&#44; based on data from haemodialysis sessions&#46; Ultrasound should only be used in cases of suspected AVF failure&#46; In these cases&#44; the nephrologist plays a key role&#44; and communication between the nephrologist and the vascular surgery team charged with maintaining the vascular access is also of utmost relevance so as to achieve the final objective of this procedure&#44;
