[Infected arteriovenous fistulae for hemodialysis].
Angioaccess procedures for hemodialysis over a 12-year period were retrospectively reviewed to ascertain the frequency of infectious complications. A total of 571 angioaccess procedures were performed including 88 e-polytetrafluoroethylene (GORE) grafts. Early infectious complications occurred only in 5 autogenous fistulae. Late infectious complications occurred in 2.3% autogenous fistulae and in 7.95% ePTFE grafts. Infected arteriovenous fistula can be the cause of further complications (thrombosis, bleeding, aneurysm, sepsis) and demands surgical repair.
