No survival differences were noted when comparing ipsilateral to contralateral arteriovenous fistula-internal thoracic artery combinations. On meta-regression, the upper arm was associated with more CSS events, while the forearm to lower late mortality rates. Independently from arteriovenous fistula-internal thoracic artery combination, CSS was not associated to higher mortality rates. Particular attention is warranted when selecting the type of conduits for CABG in patients with an arteriovenous fistula or if highly expected to need one in the near future after surgery. A contralateral arteriovenous fistula-internal thoracic artery combination is preferable.

These include adipokines, defined as proteins enriched in AT as adiponectin, but also proteins less specific to AT. We systematically performed an explorative search for studies reporting associations between proteins secreted from cells residing in the AT and AF, and additionally assessed the effect of obesity on these proteins by a secondary search.
