lüll Surgical or endovascular repair of thrombosed dialysis vascular access: is there any evidence?Tordoir JH; Bode AS; Peppelenbosch N; van der Sande FM; de Haan MWJ Vasc Surg 2009[Oct]; 50 (4): 953-6INTRODUCTION: Endovascular and surgical strategies have been used to manage patients with thrombosed vascular access for hemodialysis. We analyzed the evidence to see whether endovascular or surgical treatment has the best outcome in terms of primary success rate and long-term patency. METHODS: We performed a systematic literature search of endovascular and surgical repair of thrombosed hemodialysis vascular access. The analysis included meta-analysis, randomized, and population-based studies of thrombosed arteriovenous fistulae and grafts. RESULTS: One meta-analysis and eight randomized studies on the treatment of arteriovenous graft thrombosis were identified. Studies conducted before 2002 demonstrated a significantly better primary success rate and primary and secondary patencies of surgical thrombectomy vs endovascular intervention. After 2002, similar results of both techniques have been reported. Only population-based studies on the treatment of thrombosed autogenous arteriovenous fistulae have been published, showing similar outcome of surgical and endovascular intervention in terms of primary success. The long-term primary and secondary patencies are slightly better for surgical treatment, but this concerns only forearm fistulae. CONCLUSIONS: The outcome of endovascular and surgical intervention for thrombosed vascular access is comparable, in particular for thrombosed prosthetic grafts. Surgical treatment of autogenous arteriovenous fistulae is likely to have benefit compared with endovascular means. Definitive randomized trials are needed to provide the level 1 evidence to resolve this latter issue.|Angioplasty, Balloon/*methods[MESH]|Angioplasty/*methods[MESH]|Arteriovenous Shunt, Surgical/*adverse effects[MESH]|Female[MESH]|Follow-Up Studies[MESH]|Graft Occlusion, Vascular/*therapy[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Randomized Controlled Trials as Topic[MESH]|Renal Dialysis/adverse effects/methods[MESH]|Risk Assessment[MESH]|Thrombectomy/methods[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH]|Vascular Patency/physiology[MESH] |
