Surgical versus endovascular intervention for vascular access thrombosis: a nationwide observational cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is no consensus whether an arteriovenous (AV) access thrombosis is best treated by surgical or endovascular intervention. We compared the influence of surgical versus endovascular intervention for AV access thrombosis on access survival using real-life data from a national access registry.

Methods

We included patients from the Swedish Renal Access Registry (SRR-Access) with a working AV access undergoing surgical or endovascular intervention for their first thrombosis between 2008 and 2020. The primary outcome was the risk of access abandonment (secondary patency at 30, 60, 90 and 365 days). Secondary outcomes were time to next intervention and 30-day mortality. Access characteristics were obtained from the SRR-Access and patient characteristics were collect
