1 //5 ASDIN Core Curriculum for Interventional Nephrology, Gerald A. Beathard, MD, PhD, FASN Interventional Nephrology,, McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. Arif Asif, MD, FASN, FNKE Anil K. Agarwal, MD, FACP, FASN, FNFK Alexander S. Yevzlin, MD Stephen Wu, MD, FASN Gerald A. Beathard, MD, PhD, FACP, FCAP, FASN Definition: an unanticipated adverse event that requires therapy Endovascular procedures Standard of care in management of dialysis vascular access dysfunction Procedure techniques may result in procedure related complications Occur during or immediately after procedure VS Occur days or weeks after procedure ASDIN Classification System To grade complications specifically associated with vascular access procedures Identifies types of complications List not intended to be comprehensive/other types of complications may occur Type I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X Complication Access site hematoma Vascular rupture Arterial complications Stent-related complications Catheter insertion complications Adverse reactions to medications Oxygen saturation and apnea Hypotension/hypertension Cardiac arrhythmia General clinical status ASDIN 5

2 //5 therapy required Unplanned increase in level of care to a nominal degree No clinical consequence or adverse sequelae therapy needed Successful management using percutaneous therapy No significant long-term sequelae therapy needed Persistent or unstable complication Surgical repair is required Hospitalization for observation or management of a complication Significant long-term (> days) sequelae Loss of limb or significant loss of limb function Death Classified procedural-related if develops during procedure or within hours post procedure Includes puncture sites related to procedure and those related to old puncture sites Description Therapy I Stable, size variable, does not continue to grow, does not affect flow Stable, size variable, slows or stops flow, therapy required Unstable, large extravasation or hematoma, size variablegenerally large, continues to expand (may be rapid), pulsatile, major therapy required Permanent loss of vascular access. Permanent impairment. Death, warm compress or similar therapy for symptoms, drug reversal (i.e. Protamine) Percutaneous treatment to stop hemorrhage: balloon tapenade/stent or stent graft placement Primary goal is stop progression, manual occlusion of access, stent graft, thrombose access, surgical repair or drainage, transfusion, hospitalization Most frequent procedure related complication associated with angioplasty of dialysis vascular access Inadvertent passage of guidewire, catheter, or other endovascular device through vascular wall Significance ranges none to disaster Extravasation of contrast, blood, or both Description Therapy Localized extravasation of contrast, self-limited, stable hematoma, no altered flow through vascular access Hematoma slows or stops flow, size variable, stable, minor therapy required Persistent hemorrhage, unstable (expanding) hematoma, thrombosis of vascular access (spontaneous or intentional) Permanent loss of vascular access. Permanent impairment. Death -may not require therapy, may have small ecchymosis over treated site day after therapy, patient may have tenderness at site Control hemorrhage by percutaneous therapy. Balloon tapenade. Stent or stent graft Surgery, hospitalization for observation or continued therapy Uncommon complication May occur during any percutaneous vascular access procedure Inadvertent arterial puncture can quickly lead to large, compressive hematoma Small arterial embolus (air or thrombus) Acute arterial rupture ASDIN 5
