An arteriovenous fistula is an abnormal connection or passageway between an artery and a vein. It may be congenital, surgically created for hemodialysis treatments, or acquired due to pathologic process, such as trauma or erosion of an arterial aneurysm.

Vascular access for hemodialysis

Main article: Cimino fistula

A radiocephalic fistula.

Patients with end stage renal failure are treated with hemodialysis. In dialysis, blood is withdrawn from an artery or vein, purified, and returned to a vein. The volume of blood is too great for veins to handle, so a vein must be enlarged. An artery and vein, usually in the arm above or below the elbow, are sewn together, to create a fistula, and arterial pressure eventually enlarges the vein. The enlarged vein can accommodate a cannula or large needle.

Physiology

When an arteriovenous fistula is formed involving a major artery like the abdominal aorta, it can lead to a large decrease in peripheral resistance. This lowered peripheral resistance causes the heart to increase cardiac output to maintain proper blood flow to all tissues. The physical manifestations of this would be a relatively normal systolic blood pressure with a decreased diastolic blood pressure resulting in a wide (large) pulse pressure.

Normal blood flow in the brachial artery is 85 to 110 milliliters per minute (mL/min). After the creation of a fistula, the blood flow increases to 400 to 500 mL/min immediately, and 700 to 1,000 mL/min within 1 month. A bracheocephalic fistula above the elbow has a greater flow rate than a radiocephalic fistula at the wrist. Both the artery and the vein dilate and elongate in response to the greater blood flow and shear stress, but the vein dilates more and becomes "arterialized". In one study, the cephalic vein increased from 2.3 mm to 6.3 mm diameter after 2 months. When the vein is large enough to allow cannulation, the fistula is defined as "mature." ^[1]

An arteriovenous fistula can increase preload.^[2]

Computational model for simulation of vascular adaptation following vascular access surgery in haemodialysis patients.

Manini S1, Passera K, Huberts W, Botti L, Antiga L, Remuzzi A.Author information 1a Department of Biomedical Engineering , Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research , Bergamo , Italy.AbstractAn important number of surgical procedures for creation of vascular access (VA) in haemodialysis patients still results in non-adequate increase in blood flow (non-maturation). The rise in blood flow in arteriovenous shunts depends on vascular remodelling. Computational tools to predict the outcome of VA surgery would be important in this clinical context. The aim of our investigation was then to develop a 0D/1D computational model of arm vasculature able to simulate vessel wall remodelling and related changes in blood flow. We assumed that blood vessel remodelling is driven by peak wall shear stress. The model was calibrated with previously reported values of radial artery diameter and blood flow after end-to-end distal fistula creation. Good agreement was obtained between predicted changes in VA flow and in arterial diameter after surgery and corresponding measured values. The use of this computational model may allow accurate vascular surgery planning and ameliorate VA surgery outcomes.

Percutaneous device closure of abernethy malformation-A treatable cause of hepatopulmonary syndrome.

Venkateshwaran S1, Krishnamoorthy KM, Sivasankaran S.Author information 1Department of Cardiology, Sreechitra Tirunal Institute For Medical Sciences and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.AbstractAn eight-year-old girl was evaluated for unexplained cyanosis. A contrast echo was suggestive of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. Further evaluation revealed Abernethy malformation (type 2) leading to hepatopulmonary syndrome. Percutaneous device closure of Abernethy malformation was done after anatomical and physiological evaluation of the portal circulation. Prior to closure, it is important to ensure adequate portal radicals into the liver and normal portal pressure after test balloon occlusion. Subcostal echocardiography can diagnose and guide device closure of Abernethy malformation, a treatable cause of hepatopulmonary syndrome. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
