In dialysis treatment, the radio-cephalic arteriovenous fistula (RCAVF) is a commonly used fistula, yet its low maturation rate remains a challenge. To enhance surgical outcomes, the relationship between stenosis-prone locations and RCAVF anastomosis angle is studied during maturation by developing two sets of RCAVF models for early (non-mature) and mature RCAVFs at five anastomosis angles. The impact of hemodynamics and wall shear stress (WSS) is examined to determine optimal anastomotic angles. Results indicate that acute angles produce more physiological WSS distributions and fewer disturbed regions, with early stenosis-prone regions located near the anastomosis that shift to the bending venous segment during remodeling. A pilot study comparing clinical and numerical results is conducted for validation. 展开更多

From a mechanical perspective, the vascular resistance at the artificially designed anastomosis causes an energy loss that affects blood flow rate growth and leads to early failure. This research studied how to maximize the RCAVF maturity and primary patency by controlling the energy loss rate. We theoretically analyzed and derived a model that evaluates the energy loss rate <em>E</em><sub><em>avf</em></sub> in RCAVF as a function of its blood vessel geometric parameters (GPs) for given flow rates. There was an aggregate of five controllable GPs in RCAVF: radial artery diameter (<em>D</em><sub><em>ra</em></sub>), cephalic vein diameter (<em>D</em><sub><em>cv</em></sub>), blood vessel distance between artery and vein (<em>h</em>), anastomotic diameter (<em>D</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>), and anastomotic angle (<em>θ</em>). Through this analysis, it was found that <em>E</em><sub><em>avf</em></sub> was inversely proportional to <em>D</em><sub><em>ra</em></sub>, <em>D</em><sub><em>cv</em></sub>, <em>D</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>, and <em>θ</em>, whereas proportional to <em>h</em>. Therefore, we recommended surgeons choose the vessels with large diameters, close distance, and increase the diameter and angle of the anastomosis to decrease the early failure of RCAVF. Simultaneously, we could explain the results of many clinical empiricisms with our formula. We found that increasing <em>D</em><sub><em>cv</em></sub> and <em>θ</em> was more significant in reducing <em>E</em><sub><em>avf</em></sub> than increasing <em>D</em><sub><em>ra</em></sub> and <em>D</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>. Based on our model, we could define two critical energy loss rates (<em>CEL</em><sub><em>a</em></sub>, <em>CEL</em><sub><em>b</em></sub>) to help surgeons evaluate the blood vessels and choose the ideal range of <em>θ</em>, and help them design the preoperative RCAVF plan for each patient to increase the maturity and the primary patency of RCAVF.</span> 展开更多
