title: [Results of revision and new operation in arteriovenous shunt complications].
abstract: Over a 10 years period 260 arterio-venous fistulas have been performed and followed up. The Brescia-Ciminoshunt was the most frequent type (n = 174). This type of fistula has been performed in about 85.2% of all cases as primary operation method. In secondary formations the saphena-interposition was used most frequently (49.4% of all cases). A shunt revision should be performed in cases of immediate thrombosis although a shorter life time of revisioned shunts compared with new formations is known. The new formation of a shunt should be considered if terminal thrombotic changes have been detected as well as in cases of shunt infection or shunt insufficiency.
