High-flow arteriovenous fistulas(AVFs) can cause high-output heart failure, and surgical flow reduction is an effective strategy for reducing cardiac overload. The noninvasive continuous hemodynamic monitoring system (ClearSightⓇ)enables real-time evaluation of circulatory dynamics during hemodialysis and may provide valuable insights into the hemodynamic effects of flow reduction. In this presentation, we report two HD patients with high-flow AVF who underwent hemodynamic assessment using the ClearSightⓇ system before and after surgical shunt flow reduction.
Case presentation:
Case 1: A 68-year-old man with a left forearm AVF, who had been receiving HD for 11 years due to bilateral nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma presented with left hand dorsum edema and was diagnosed with a high-flow AVF (brachial artery flow volume: 2200 ml/min). The patient underwent graft inclusion technique, resulting in a flow volume of 1300 ml/min. Postoperative stroke volume(SV) during HD session was significantly lower than preoperative SV (67.8±5.3 ml/beat vs. 75.9±4.3 ml/beat), as shown in the figure. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a reduction in the left atrial diameter, left ventricular end-diastolic dimension, and stroke volume after flow reduction.
Case 2: A 69-year-old woman with a left forearm AVF, who had been receiving HD for 9 years due to diabetic nephropathy, developed symptoms of heart failure, such as dyspnea on exertion, which were not related to fluid overload. She was diagnosed with a high-flow AVF (brachial artery flow volume: 1700 ml/min) and underwent hemodynamic assessment before and after surgical flow reduction.
Vascular access flow reduction surgery effectively decreases both cardiac preload and afterload in patients with high-flow AVFs. ClearSightⓇsystem provides a simple and practical novel method for evaluating cardiac overload during hemodialysis and may support the improved management of high-flow AVFs in clinical practice.
Here, we present two cases in which the effects of the graft inclusion technique on the SV during dialysis were visualized using the ClearSightⓇ system.
