Reverse-Loop Upper Arm Arteriovenous Graft

Reverse-Loop Upper Arm Arteriovenous Graft for Chronic Hemodialysis

Background: A conventional configured prosthetic arteriovenous graft (AVG) usually wastes most upper arm vessels that a reverse-loop design may conserve. This study examined the feasibility of the AVG construction and its outcome.

Methods: Retrospective review of clinical outcomes of reverse-loop upper arm AVG patients. Measures included hemodialysis function, duplex scan, procedural complications, and follow-up interventions
