Comparative analysis of femoral vein translocation and upper extremity grafts for hemodialysis access

Key Points

• The aim is to compare the effectiveness of femoral vein translocation (FVT) and upper extremity arteriovenous grafts (AVG) for hemodialysis access.
• Comparative analysis of FVT and UE AVG
• Assessment of patency rates and infectious complications
• Focus on patients with a history of graft failure
• FVT demonstrates superior patency rates compared to UE AVG
• FVT has fewer infectious complications than UE AVG
• FVT is particularly beneficial for patients with previous AVG failures due to infection or thrombosis
