Abstract
Background: The arteriovenous fistula is the preferred access route for hemodialysis, although its high primary failure rate remains a clinical challenge. Multiple studies have attempted to determine the risk factors for primary arteriovenous fistula failure; however, none have identified pulse pressure as a potential predictive marker. High pulse pressure is a surrogate poor arterial compliance endpoint and leads to inferior cardiovascular outcomes. Our aim was to determine whether elevated pulse pressure indicates poor arteriovenous fistula maturation.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 274 patients who underwent an arteriovenous fistula index operation between September 1, 2018 and May 31, 2019. Demographic, clinical data, and operative parameters were collected and analyzed. The maximum follow-up period was 365 days. Arteriovenous fistula failure was defined as the inability to achieve functional use during the follow-up period. We identified risk factors for arteriovenous fistula failure by performing a multivariate logistic regression analysis using backward elimination procedures.
Results: A total of 274 patients were included in the study. The patients' average age was 61.3 ± 14.0 years, approximately half of the patients (n = 161, 58.8%) were male, and the majority had hypertension. At the end of the follow-up period, 68 (24.8%) had arteriovenous fistula failure. The proportion of patients with pulse pressure values of >60 mmHg was significantly higher in the failure group than in the maturation group (66.0% vs 80.9%; p = 0.021). A PP value of >60 mmHg (odds ratio = 2.25; 95% confidence interval = 1.14-4.42; p = 0.019) and coronary artery disease or myocardial infarction (odds ratio = 1.97; 95% confidence interval = 1.01-3.84; p = 0.045) were found to be independent risk factors for primary arteriovenous fistula failure.
Conclusions: High pulse pressure is an independent risk factor for primary arteriovenous fistula failure.
