A fístula arteriovenosa (FAV) representa o acesso vascular com menor taxa de complicações, pelo que a Consulta de Acessos Vasculares para hemodiálise procura promover o aumento da sua taxa de patência. Métodos: avaliação retrospectiva dos motivos de referenciação à consulta entre 01-01-2008 e 31-12-2009, do resultado das intervenções e análise dos factores relacionados com a patência da FAV. Resultados: Avaliaram-se 697 doentes (58% homens, 30% diabéticos, idade média 64±15 anos) referenciados para construção de acesso (71%), suspeita de estenose (14%), síndrome de roubo (6%) pseudoaneurismas (4%) e hipertensão venosa (HTV) (3%). Os acessos construídos foram FAV simples (n=514; 91% dos doentes), transposição da veia basílica (n=40) e pontagem arteriovenosa com prótese (n=10). A taxa de patência global (às 4 semanas) foi 83% (75%, 93% e 40% respectivamente nas FAVs, transposições e pontagens). A localização proximal da FAV (p <0,01) e avaliação pré-operatória por Dopller (p=0,02) associaram-se a melhor resultado. As estenoses da FAV foram tratadas por angioplastia, endovascular (45%) e cirúrgica (23%), com patência de 95% e 90% respectivamente. O síndrome de roubo foi tratado por redução do débito com banding em 57% dos casos (sucesso 84%) e laqueação da FAV em 16%. A angioplastia endovascular efectuou-se em 57% das HTV com sucesso de 84%.

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) provides the vascular access with lower complication rate, so the Consulta de Acessos Vasculares for hemodialysis promotes actions to increase its patency rate. Methods: Retrospective study of the causes for referral to consultation between 01/01/2008 and 31/12/2009, outcome of proposed interventions and factors favoring AVF patency. Results: We evaluated 697 patients (58% male, 30% diabetic, mean age 64 ± 15 years) referred for construction of access (71%), suspicion of stenosis (14%), steal syndrome (6%), pseudoaneurysm (4%) and venous hypertension (HTV) (3%). The constructed access were simple AVF (n=514, 91% of patients, transposition of the basilic vein (n=40) and prothesic arteriovenous graft (n=10). The global access patency rate (at 4th week) was 83% (with 75%, 93%, 40% for AVFs, transposition and grafts, respectively). Proximal location of AVF (p <0.01) and preoperative Doppler evaluation (p = 0.02) were associated with better outcomes. AVF venous stenosis was treated with angioplasty, endovascular (45%) and surgical (23%), with patency rates of 95% and 90%, respectively. The steal syndrome was treated by AVF reduction with banding in 57% of cases (84% success) and AVF ligation in 16%. Endovascular angioplasty was preformed in 57% of cases of HTV (success of 84%). Aneurysmectomy was performed in 50% of patients with pseudoaneurysms with preservation of AVF patency in 90% of cases. Conclusion: Interventions outcomes were similar to those of international studies. Preoperative evaluation by Doppler ultrasound improved the AVF patency.]]></p></abstract>
