Haemodialysis Fistula Intervention
Dr Ralph Jackson
Freeman Hospital
Newcastle-upon-Tyne
What are Arterio-Venous
fistulae?
• Surgically created “end to side” shunts
which allow dialysis.
• Lower arm (radio-cephalic) better than
upper arm (brachio-cephalic, brachio-
basilic, brachio-brachial).
• Native better than grafts (PTFE, bovine
ureter)
Anatomy
Typical AV Fistula
“Arterial” needle
“Venous” needle
Thrill
Typical AV Fistula
Arterial pressure
Venous pressure
Problems with fistulae
• Poor development
• Difficulty needling
• Inadequate dialysis
– Low flow rates
– Recirculation
• High pressures and prolonged bleeding
• Thrombosis
• Almost all due to stenoses which are
recurrent
Flat AV Fistula: peri-anastomotic
stenosis
“Arterial” needle
“Venous” needle
Weak thrill
Pulsatile AV Fistula: stenosis away
from anastomosis

Remote Thrill
Pulsatile and high pressure

Treatment options
• Angioplasty
– Standard balloon angioplasty
– High pressure balloon
– Cutting or scoring balloon
• Surgery
• Refashion anastomosis
• Patch stenosis
• Higher fistula
• Whichever way, get on with it.
Balloon angioplasty
• Big enough
– Tendency to use too small balloons
• High or ultra high pressure
– Standard RBP of 15Atm @8mm
• Inflation handle (obviously).
• Long inflation times as recoil common.
• Rupture uncommon but be prepared
Antegrade transvenous
Retrograde transvenous
Transarterial
Standard pressure balloon
High Pressure
Cephalic arch stenosis
 Much commoner in dysfunctional brachio-
than radio-cephalic fistulae (~50%).
 More prone to rupture and restenosis
 Primary patency rates at one year after
angioplasty only around 30%
Rupture management
• Not that frequent to have major rupture (1-
2%).
• Tamponade with long low pressure
inflation
• Covered stent as bail out
• Associated with subsequent loss of fistula

Conclusion
• AV fistulas are simple to understand.
– History and examination are diagnostic.
• Most problems are due to stenosis.
• Angioplasty is highly successful if done
right.
• Stenoses recur so you will get to know the
patients well.
• Maintaining dialysis access is one of the
most important IR jobs.
