Transposed brachiobasilic fistula or PTFE arm graft - alternative or complementary?

Our primary aims were (1) to examine the patency of transposed brachiobasilic (TBB) fistulae compared to arm arteriovenous graft (AVG) without prior transposition, and (2) to examine the patency of AVG with and without prior transposition. Single institution; analysis of prospectively collected data...

Zusammenfassung:Our primary aims were (1) to examine the patency of transposed brachiobasilic (TBB) fistulae compared to arm arteriovenous graft (AVG) without prior transposition, and (2) to examine the patency of AVG with and without prior transposition. Single institution; analysis of prospectively collected data between January 2001 and January 2007. Dedicated database and medical records were reviewed and results analyzed with SPSS. Ninety-one patients underwent 111 procedures (52 TBB: 39 AVG as index); 28 TBB failed with 17 (60%) being replaced with an ipsilateral AVG. TBB compared to AVG (without prior TBB) had significantly (log rank
