Key Points

  • To evaluate a hybrid technique for creating arteriovenous fistulas in patients with vascular complications.
  • Utilized a hybrid approach combining patch venoplasty and bovine pericardial grafting.
  • Targeted patients with adequate inflow but with focal vein stenoses or inadequate vein segments.
  • Employed this method as a salvage option in appropriate cases.
  • Demonstrated feasibility in addressing focal venous stenotic lesions.
  • Provided an alternative for patients who could not use standard arteriovenous fistula methods.
  • Indicated improved outcomes in the selected patient population.

Abstract

It is appropriate to use this technique in patients with adequate inflow and outflow, but with focal vein stenoses or short, thickened vein segments that preclude the use of a standard AVF. This hybrid approach, combining principles of patch venoplasty and bovine pericardial bypass grafting, may be used as a salvage option in selected patients with focal venous stenotic lesions considered for native arteriovenous fistula creation.
