Comparative study between brachiobasilic and radiobasilic vascular access for hemodialysis inpatients with chronic renal failure
Abstract
Introduction: Therapeutic options for patients with end-stage renal disease have significantly improved over the last few decades and can be categorized into three main modalities: hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, and kidney transplantation. Various surgical techniques have been developed for vascular access.
Objective: This study aimed to compare patency rates between brachiobasilic arteriovenous fistula (BBAVF) and radiobasilic arteriovenous fistula (RBAVF) as vascular access methods for hemodialysis in patients with chronic renal failure.
Patients and Methods: The study was conducted in the Department of Vascular Surgery at Qena Faculty of Medicine, South Valley University. A total of 80 patients with chronic kidney disease were enrolled and divided into two groups: Group A (50 patients) underwent BBAVF, while Group B (30 patients) underwent RBAVF.
Results: The primary patency rates for BBAVF and RBAVF were 64% and 73%, respectively. The secondary patency rates were 76% and 76.7%, respectively.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that both BBAVF and RBAVF are effective surgical options for vascular access in hemodialysis patients. However, RBAVF showed a higher effectiveness in terms of fewer complications and better one-year patency rates.
