Endoscopic vein harvest remains underused in single-stage brachial-basilic arteriovenous fistula creation. We analyzed our results with the use of this technique in a cohort of predominantly obese (body mass index ≥30 kg/m2) patients. Demographics, intraoperative details, and outcomes for all consecutive patients who underwent single-stage endoscopic-assisted brachial-basilic arteriovenous fistula creation between 2020 and 2022 at a single institute were analyzed retrospectively. The primary outcomes were technical success, fistula maturation, and primary assisted and secondary patency rates. Of the 11 patients (7 men; mean age, 62 ± 11.6 years), 7 (64%) already required dialysis at referral. The mean body mass index was 34 ± 7 kg/m2, 64% were obese, and an additional 27% were overweight. The medical comorbidities included hypertension in 11 patients (100%), diabetes in 7 (64%), and smoking in 8 (73%). Technical success was 100%, with no intraoperative complications. The median procedural length was 231 minutes (range, 183-302 minutes). Early complications in two patients (18%) included bleeding of the venous side branch requiring ligation and the loss of thrill requiring division of a tethering bridge of a large tributary. The maturation rate was 100%, and the brachial-basilic arteriovenous fistula was successfully accessed in all patients who required dialysis. At 12 months, the primary assisted and secondary patency rates were 90% ± 10% and 100%, respectively. Reintervention in seven patients (64%) included successful angioplasty in four, thrombectomy in two, and aneurysm resection with an interposition graft in one patient. Endoscopic vein harvest can be used for single-stage brachial-basilic arteriovenous fistula creation with good technical success and favorable maturation and patency rates, even for obese patients. |
