Abstract

Introduction: Various methods of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation are in vogue, each having their own pros and cons. This study is aimed at comparing two most common methods of AVF creation - side to side (STS) and end to side (ETS).

Materials and Methods: This retrospective comparative study was conducted between January 2017 to January 2018. 57 patients were included in the study-they underwent AVF creation either by STS or by ETS method.

Results: All total primary failure rate in the study was 12.28%, there was no statistically significant difference among two groups in regards to demography, operative time or complications except the finding that ETS has significant lower rate of postoperative venous hypertension than STS group.

Conclusion: STS AVF has significantly higher rate of venous hypertension than ETS AVF.

Keywords: Arteriovenous fistula,  hemodialysis, venous hypertension.
