20 3. Cannulation techniques vs vascular access survival (1/3) Out of the 10,807 patients enrolled for the original survey, access survival data was available for 7,058 (65%) Primary outcome was the time of the first surgical access intervention, where survey date serves as baseline. The observation period was 3 years (from April 2009 till March 2012). To adjust for individual patient differences, the following information was extracted from the clinical database: Patient age and gender, BMI, prevalence of diabetes, use of ACE inhibitors, platelet anti-aggregants, salicylic acid and anticoagulants. Descriptive Statistics Mean age was years; 38.5% were female; 27.1% were diabetics; 90.6% had a native fistula; 9.4% had a graft; 51.2% of patients, had a distal access location; 51.1% were treated with antiaggregants; 2.8% anti-coagulant.

30 Cannulation technique vs VA survival: Summary (1/2) In summary, the study revealed that area cannulation technique, despite being the most commonly used, was inferior to both rope-ladder and buttonhole for the maintenance of Vascular Access functionality. With regard to the effect of needle and bevel direction, the combination of antegrade position of arterial needle with bevel up or down was significantly associated with better access survival than retrograde positioning with bevel down. FME Copyright MTP - Does cannulation technique impact arteriovenous fistula and graft survival? Page 30

31 Cannulation technique vs VA survival: Summary (2/2) Results referring to the type and location of access and the technical parameters (i.e. venous pressure) were as follows: There was an increased risk of access failure for graft versus fistula, proximal vs distal location, right arm vs left arm, and the presence of a venous pressure greater than 150 mmhg. The results on venous pressure are worth considering. A venous pressure of mmhg is considered acceptable by the scientific community; the results of this study put these values under discussion. However, further investigations are required to clarify the topic fully. FME Copyright MTP - Does cannulation technique impact arteriovenous fistula and graft survival? Page 31

51 Blood flow and vascular access survival, taking access blood flow into consideration, no association was found between VA failure and extracorporeal blood flow for the range of extracorporeal blood flows commonly used in routine dialysis practice. Low extracorporeal blood flow (<310 ml/min) seems to be a surrogate for poor access blood flow. Some caution appears indicated when applying particularly high extracorporeal blood flow (>390 ml/min).
