Abstract
Background: This study compared side-to-side (STS) versus end-to-side (ETS) anastomosis in distal radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) regarding maturation, patency and complications.
Methods: This was a single-centre, retrospective analysis of patients who underwent distal radiocephalic AVF creation between April 2018 and June 2024. Primary and secondary patency, maturation, thrombosis and reintervention rates were evaluated.
Results: No significant perioperative complications occurred among 151 STS and 122 ETS patients. Secondary patency rates were similar (STS 97% vs ETS 93%, p = 0.229). Primary patency was higher in the STS group (56% vs 43%, p = 0.025), though time to patency loss was comparable (p = 0.378). Maturation rates without intervention were 89% (STS) and 83% (ETS), with no statistically significant difference (p = 0.158). Fistula flow was higher with STS. AVF thrombosis was more frequent in ETS (10% vs 3%, p = 0.000), as was radial artery thrombosis (5% vs 0.7%, p = 0.032).
Conclusions: Our findings suggest STS is a safe, effective alternative to ETS in appropriate clinical settings.
背景:本研究比较了侧侧吻合(STS)和端侧吻合(ETS)在远端放射性头动静脉瘘(AVF)中的成熟、通畅和并发症。方法:这是一项单中心回顾性分析,对2018年4月至2024年6月期间接受远端放射性头部AVF制造的患者进行分析。评估原发性和继发性通畅、成熟、血栓形成和再干预率。结果:151例STS和122例ETS患者围手术期无明显并发症发生。二次通畅率相似(STS 97% vs ETS 93%, p = 0.229)。STS组的原发性通畅率更高(56% vs 43%, p = 0.025),但通畅丧失的时间相当(p = 0.378)。未干预的成熟率分别为89% (STS)和83% (ETS),差异无统计学意义(p = 0.158)。STS组瘘管流量较高。AVF血栓形成在ETS中更为常见(10% vs 3%, p = 0.000),桡动脉血栓形成也更为常见(5% vs 0.7%, p = 0.032)。结论:我们的研究结果表明,在适当的临床环境中,STS是一种安全、有效的替代ETS的方法。
