Background: Radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) at wrist is the vascular choice for dialysis. In the absence of a suitable vein in the wrist, elbow brachiocephalic fistula is the next choice. In this study to create an arteriovenous fistula in antecubital area, we turned to the proximal radial artery in comparison to brachial artery in antecobital area for dialysis. Materials and Methods: We reviewed 124patients in clinical trial study that candidated for placement of AVF for dialysis in antecubital area .To create AVF ,proximal radial artery in 62 patients and brachial artery in 62 other patients selected as the artery of choice,then patients followed based on complications ,steal syndrome ,primary failure and mean time to prepare for dialysis. Results: The mean time of maturation of AVF in brachial group was 41 days and in radial group was 43 days. Primary dysfunction in brachial group was 6 cases (10%) and in radial group was 5 cases (8%).Steal syndrome in radial group was not seen but in brachial group 2 cases (3%) were seen. Conclusion: According to the primary success, steal syndrome and mean time of maturation of these two arteries had no significant statistic differences, but like other previous studies, this study emphasizes on usefulness and less complications. On the other hand, due to the anterior anatomical position and allowing the release of the artery, it causes easy technique for creating AVF anastomosis to the antecubital arteries and its branches.. Therefore, this study recommends use of this artery in creation of AVF in antecubital area.

Objectives: As per standard guidelines, the recommended order of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation for hemodialysis (HD) access is radiocephalic (RC), followed by proximal elbow fistulas and arteriovenous graft. Although ulnar-basilic (UB) fistula has been an alternative to RC-AVF, still this procedure searches clear recommendations. We present here our experience on UB-AVF as the preferred "second procedure" instead of proximal fistula after the RC-AVF.

This second article, in a three-part Continuing Education (CE) series on Vascular Access Management, focuses on cannulation issues including complications relating to arteriovenous fistula and arteriovenous graft access. The first article (McCann et al. 2008) gave an overview of vascular access while the final article in this series will focus on central venous catheters (CVC).

The technique of creating an upper arm side-to-side A-V fistula in patients with forearm vascular access failures has been described. The procedure has been used extensively in patients in Japan with a high degree of success. The limited U.S. experience has confirmed that the procedure results in trouble-free, reliable vascular access. It is proposed as an alternative approach for patients with forearm access failures.

A brachio-brachial arteriovenous fistula with superficialization of the brachial vein and superficialization of the brachial artery are useful vascular access techniques for hemodialysis patients. However, both typically require a long skin incision from the antecubital fossa toward the axillary fossa. In addition, the brachio-brachial arteriovenous fistula in particular, which is created with not a one-stage but a two-stage procedure, requires a relatively long time of 2–3 months before it can be used for hemodialysis. Furthermore, superficialization of the brachial artery usually requires nonarterialized superficial veins for blood return. In cases where patients have no adequate superficial veins for creating an arteriovenous fistula, we have adopted a one-stage operative technique to create a brachio-brachial arteriovenous fistula with superficialization of not only the brachial vein but also the brachial artery using a short skin incision. This technique of a brachio-brachial arteriovenous fistula with superficialization of the brachial artery has several advantages over traditional approaches, including a minimally invasive procedure and early use for vascular access. To our knowledge, the presently described technique and the related data have not been previously reported in the English literature. We herein report the steps of this technique and the midterm follow-up outcomes.
