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

Abstract

FVT has superior patency rates and less infectious complications compared to UE AVG. FVT is especially useful in patients who have failed multiple AVG from either infection or thrombosis. These comparative outcomes should be considered in patients with a history of graft infection.
