AVF, there is not likely to be sufficient length to reach a non-thrombosed segment of axillary vein. A prosthetic extension to the jugular is another alternative. Adequate central outflow from the jugular would need to be assured by venography before further consideration of either option.14,19
Question 10
Although there is very little data to provide a clear answer to this clinical problem, the best choice and DOQI recommendation is prosthetic interposition. [Q10: C] It preserves a functioning access in someone who has already lost the use of the contralateral upper extremity to venous outflow obstruction.1,20,21
Ligation solves the bleeding problem but sacrifices the access. Removal may subsequently be required, but is not essential at this juncture. Revision with primary closure of the aneurysm is unattractive since the tissues and graft material are friable and usually destroyed by the repetitive puncture. Close observation is doomed to fail with a real risk of bleeding and hemorrhage.
Although prosthetic interposition is the appropriate choice, this option is not without complications. Our own experience identified an increased incidence of infection, and good material to anastomose may require bypass of lengthy segments.22 Recent introduction of the covered stent is an attractive, but expensive and unproven option. Percutaneous access, control of the neck of the pseudoaneurysm, and retention of hemoaccess function are currently offset by limited clinical data, and high expense.13,23
Comment
The initial use of distal sites, and judicious consumption of the available autogenous assets facilitated construction of several different hemoaccess sites during this patient’s 14-year odysseywithhemodialysis.Problemssuchasthesearecommonandrequireforethoughtand ingenuity for successful cumulative function and minimization of major complications.

Following Graft Arteriovenous Fistula |
Miltos K. Lazarides and Vasilios D. Tzilalis
A 65-year-old woman with end-stage renal disease and insulin-dependent diabetes was admitted for access construction in order to start haemodialysis. There was a lack of suitable veins to construct an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, and the patient underwent placement of a 6-mm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) AV bridge graft between the brachial artery and the axillary vein in the left arm.
Question 1
Which of the following is the order of preference for placement of a permanent angioaccess in new patients requiring chronic haemodialysis?
A. (1) A brachio-cephalic AV fistula. (2) A wrist radial-cephalic AV fistula. (3) An AV PTFE bridge graft or a transposed brachial-basilic AV fistula. (4) A cuffed, tunnelled central venous catheter
B. (1) A wrist radial-cephalic AV fistula. (2) A brachio-cephalic AV fistula. (3) An AV PTFE bridge graft or a transposed brachial-basilic AV fistula
C. (1) A wrist radial-cephalic AV fistula. (2) A transposed brachial-basilic AV fistula. (3) A brachio-cephalic AV fistula. (4) An AV PTFE bridge graft
Question 2
Which of the following statements represent advantages of the autologous AV fistulas over AV grafts?
A. Excellent long-term patency once established B. Lower complication rate
