An ultrasound-guided no incision banding method for the treatment of arteriovenous fistula high-flow in hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

High-flow vascular access is one of the serious complications in the maturation and subsequent use of arteriovenous fistula (AVF). We adopted a novel surgical approach named no incision limited ligation indwelling needle assisted- revision (NILLINR) to treat high-flow of the hemodialysis vascular access and ascertained the outcomes by regular follow-up visits.

Methods

This is a retrospective study. 26 hemodialysis patients with symptomatic high-flow access (access flow > 1500 mL/min) were treated with the novel banding method without incision between June 2018 and October 2020. The flow of the brachial artery before and after the restriction was measured by experienced clinicians by using the duplex Doppler ultrasound (DUS). All 26 patients were followed up for up
