ABSTRACT
Objective:
To evaluate the mid-term follow-up results of arteriovenous graft(AVG) for patients on maintenance hemodialysis.Methods:
The clinical data of 131 patients who implanted AVG from Jan 2014 to Dec 2016 at Department of Vascular Surgery, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University were retrospectively analyzed.Results:
The mean follow-up time was 22.8 months (ranging from 2 to 61 months). The average primary patency time after AVG was (22.20±1.97) months, and the primary patency rates at 1 year, 2 years, 3 years were 61.5%, 36.6% and 23.2%, respectively. The average secondary patency time after AVG was (38.30±2.30) months, and the secondary patency rates after 1 year, 2 years, 3 years were 85.6%, 68.6%, and 55.8%, respectively. Sixty five (49.6%) patients had thrombosis after operations, 50(38.2%) had access stenosis, 13(9.9%) had graft infections, and 2(1.5%) had pseudoaneurysm, 2(1.5%) had hemodialysis access-induced distal ischemia, 2(1.5%) had seroma.Conclusions:
Though the primary patency rate of AVG is worse than that of arteriovenous fistula (AVF), a satisfactory secondary patency rate can be achieved through repair treatments. Regular follow-up, early detection of stenotic lesions and treatments are vital for long-term patency of AVG.
