Comment on Dec 28, 2018

Alexandros Mallios commented on presentation Creation of percutaneous arteriovenous fistula in a complex case.

»Thanks for your comment - Of course note, as every new technique it is not against the existing ones but rather an addition to our armamentarium. As you know for sure distal AVFs have 50-60% maturation failure rates according to the literature especially in patients with diabetes, calcified arteries, multiple previous surgeries and IV placed in the forearm. In these patients Proximal radial artery inflow is an excellent solution (instead of a brachial artery inflow). The surgical PRA AVF has well been described in terms of advantages and technical details (see recent publication by Jennings et al in JVS). Ellipsys offers a percutaneous alternative - please check our recent publication in JVS (Mallios et al)«

CiDA: Percutaneous AV fistula between proximal radial artery and deep communicating vein

We are delighted to offer to our Vascupedians the opportunity to watch again the first live case of pAVF creation in the most important vascular access meeting in the world: CiDA. In this completely unedited video Dr Mallios creates a percutaneous AVF with the Ellipsys Vascular Access System (Avenu Medical Juan Capistrano CA USA) between the proximal radial artery and the deep communicating vein at the level of proximal forearm.

EndoAVF creation with the Ellipsys Vascular Access System

Creation of a percutaneous AVF -endoAVF- with the Ellipsys Vascular Access System (Avenu Medical, San Juan Capistrano, CA)
After puncture of a superficial vein at the elbow level and under ultrasound visualisation, the needle is navigated through the deep communicating vein and a direct puncture of the proximal radial artery is performed. The Ellipsys catheter allows the creation of a permanent anastomosis through tissue fusion. An immediate PTA of the anastomosis accelerates maturation
