8 Background The transplant is the definitive treatment of renal insufficiency, in our days. While waiting for it, the arteriovenous fistula surgery is standard procedure. However, factors such as the local anatomy, technique mistakes and thrombophlebitis may compromise the viability of the fistula as vascular access for hemodialysis. Ultrasound is the main method of diagnostic imaging, because of its low cost, noninvasive, without ionizing radiation associated or iodized contrast. It aims to map the arterial and venous vascular anatomy of the upper limb, evaluating the feasibility of arteriovenous fistulas, their possible complications, maturity and efficiency. It is also sensible for the evaluation of the feasibility of the vascular bed in synthetic graft for hemodialysis. Vascular procedures and their complications represent a major cause of morbidity, hospitalization and cost for patients in hemodialysis. Native arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) are preferable to synthetic arteriovenous grafts (PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene) for being associated with lower frequency to thrombosis and infection, as well as a greater longevity. The preoperative physical examination performed by the surgeon is important for setting between AVF and synthetic graft. The preoperative vascular ultrasonographic mapping of upper limb, including nonpalpable and proximal veins, as well as the arterial flow, improve the success rate of the AVF or indicate the selection of the graft as appropriate option. The graft is an option when the vascular anatomy is not appropriate to the positioning of the AVF. Avoid the creation of an AVF in the dominant upper limb. The preoperative diameter criteria used are: all the arteries of 2.0 mm or larger and all the veins, both in the forearm and arm, 2.5 mm or more for the creation of AVF, or veins of 4.0 mm or larger for the creation of the graft. AVF are preferably placed in the wrist or elbow, respectively radial-cephalic and brachialcephalic fistulas. Many fistulas do not mature appropriately for being used in dialysis. Four months is the maximum interval for AVF mature. The early recognition through the ultrasound examination, of problems in the AVF maturation or possible complications that may compromise their viability, offers the opportunity of correction or appropriate treatment. The objective quantitative criteria to assess the maturation of fistulas are: Page 8 of 43

13 Findings and procedure details The Color Duplex-Doppler ultrasound examination can be accomplished in the preoperative period, to study the best surgical bed available and can be performed in the postoperative control, to identify possible failure factors in the process of AVF maturation. Pre-operative examination: The examination is performed with high frequency linear transducer. Patient seated and the arm to 45 from the body, with appropriate support. The study of the superficial venous system veins can be accomplished with a clipping of the upper limb, respecting the interval of 3 minutes. The exam can also be performed without a clipping, as long as it's applied abundant amount of contact gel and the study is performed without compression of the transducer. We get an overview on B-mode of the upper limb vessels and we do the measures of arteries and veins diameters in the transverse plane. The cephalic and basilic veins diameters are obtained at the wrist level, cubital wrinkle and middle third of the arm. Evaluate the arterial and venous bed patency, with research of thrombosis, thrombophlebitis and arterial stenosis. If there are concentric arterial calcifications, these should be reported because they can harm the anastomosis. The radial and ulnar arteries systolic and diastolic peak speeds are obtained at the wrist level and the brachial artery in the antecubital fossa. Evaluate the palmar arch patency, through compression of the radial artery at the wrist level and visualization of reverse flow distal to the compression. Evaluate the vessels depth and accessory surface venous network. Postoperative examination: The examination is performed with high frequency linear transducer. Patient seated and the arm to 45 from the body, with appropriate support. We get a B-mode overview of the artery feeding the fistula, venous drainage and anastomosis region, including the vessel diameter, both in transverse and longitudinal planes. Page 13 of 43
14 The anteroposterior diameter of the drainage vein is measured in the transverse plane in the distal, middle and proximal portions of the arm or forearm, respectively if fistula is at elbow or wrist. The blood flow is obtained in the middle of the forearm or arm, also depending on if fistula is at wrist or elbow, because stenosis or extremely sinuous drainage veins are rarely seen in this topography, but may limit the flow anywhere in the drainage vein. The main complications found in ultrasonography study after AVF confection includes: - Thrombosis: The thrombosis can be characterized by the presence of echogenic material organized in the lumen veins, with partial or absent flow, depending on the presence of recanalization. Dynamic compression maneuvers are very useful in the evaluation of veins with low speed flow. - Thrombophlebitis: The superficial veins thrombosis can be characterized by the presence of echogenic material organized in lumen of these veins, with partial or absent flow, depending on the presence of recanalization. Dynamic compression maneuvers are very useful in the veins evaluating due to its low speed flow. They are also frequent parietal thickening and caliber reduction, usually translating sequel to previous thrombophlebitis, which shall be described in the final report. - Arterial Stenosis: The arterial stenosis is not frequent in upper limbs in the normal population, when compared with the incidence in the lower limbs. However, chronic renal patients exhibit arterial stenosis in this bed more often than the normal population. We used as a criterion for stenosis the luminal narrowing with Color Doppler mapping, the presence of "Aliasing" at the point of stenosis and an increase of systolic velocity, reaching or exceeding the ratio of 2:1 in relation to the prestenotic bed. - Stenosis at the anastomosis: We used as criteria for arteriovenous anastomosis stenosis, besides the luminal narrowing in B-mode, the increase of systolic velocity, reaching or exceeding the ratio of 3:1 in relation to the pre anastomotic arterial bed. -Stenosis in the efferent vein: The stenosis may result from manipulation (repeated punctures in the same place), partial intraluminal thrombus or narrowing areas in valve sinus. We use as a criteria for stenosis the luminal narrowing at B-mode and Color Doppler mapping, the presence of "Aliasing" at the point of stenosis and an increase of systolic velocity, reaching or exceeding a ratio of 2:1 in relation to the prestenotic bed. Page 14 of 43
15 - Arterial occlusions: the arterial occlusion will be characterized by the absence of detectable Color and Pulsed Doppler mapping. It is important the correct parameters setting of the device (PRF, wall filter, gain and frequency) in order to avoid false positives. - Collections: The collections can be developed by multiple reasons, highlighting hematomas and abscesses in surgical beds. Are particularly feared the infected collections related to the synthetic prostheses, which often evolve with necessity of its withdrawal. They are characterized by the presence of anechogenic or hypoechogenic content, in some situations organized and correlation with clinical data should be performed. - Aneurysms: The vascular dilations can occur in both afferent arteries as in efferent veins. Its determination through the ultrasound is easy, being related to dilated vascular structure, previously displayed at clinical examination. It is important to determine if there is any venous or arterial obstructive process associated. - Steal syndrome: The arteriovenous fistula is a shunt between a high pressure system (arterial) and a low pressure system (venous). Usually the palmar arch compensates circulatory deficiencies of one of the arteries. However, if the palmar arch is incompleted and or the arteriovenous fistula presenting high throughput, it can kidnap the flow originally intended to distal bed, determining ischemic symptoms. This phenomenon can be observed by the inversion of flow direction of the distal artery bed. - Synthetic prostheses (PTFE): Besides the evaluation by B-mode to exclude the possibility off collections, we do studies with color and pulsed Doppler to characterize the patency and exclude synthetic graft stenosis. We use as standard the following parameters: - Flow below 1,300 ml/min. - Stenosis > 50% at B-mode - Systolic peak speed > 400 cm/s - Maturity: The maturity assessment is performed through clinical examination and ultrasonographic analysis, being used as criteria the following parameters: - Minimum Diameter of 4 mm (vein) - Flow > 500 ml/min - Depth of up to 5 mm from the skin Page 15 of 43

43 Conclusion The Color Doppler ultrasound is an excellent noninvasive method to analyze the feasibility of arteriovenous fistulas and their possible complications. It is also an excellent method of preoperative evaluation allowing the surgeon an arterial and venous system global vision, making possible to establish the best place for realization of arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis.
