Summary

Background:

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a form of vascular access for haemodialysis. An AVF is normally created at the level of the wrist, but occasionally it is created in the elbow when there is no suitable vessel in the forearm. The most common type of elbow (antecubital) fistula (AFF) is a brachiocephalic fistula, which carries significantly higher risk of steal syndrome (AVF-associated hand ischaemia) than wrist fistulas. More recently, AFF using proximal radial or ulnar artery as inflow has been described and shown to have a lower rate of Steal syndrome than brachiocephalic fistula. This study aims to investigate the incidence of steal syndrome between AFF using brachial artery and that using the proximal radial/ulnar artery as inflow.
