BACKGROUND Both transposed basilic vein (BV) and polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) upper arm arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) are common angioaccess operations. To evaluate the patency and complication rates after AVF, a concurrent series of patients was reviewed. METHODS Ninety-eight patients underwent brachial artery to axillary vein AVF: 30 BV and 68 PTFE. The PTFE grafts were performed in the standard fashion, whereas the basilic veins were translocated subcutaneously to the brachial artery. RESULTS Risk factors were similar between the two groups. Basilic vein AVF had better patency at 24 months (70% BV versus 46% PTFE, P = 0.023). The dialysis access complications were higher in the BV group (20%) versus PTFE (5%), but the PTFE group had a higher infection rate (10%) than BV (0%). CONCLUSIONS The primary and secondary patency rates were superior in the BV AVFs. The BV AVF preserves the venous outflow tract after AVF thrombosis for a future PTFE AVF operation.
