We analyzed the effect of previous TVCs and their location (ipsilateral versus contralateral) on the successful function of upper-limb AVFs in the first 12 months after creation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n We retrospectively reviewed clinical data on patients\u2019 first upper-limb AVFs, created between January 2013 and December 2017. We analyzed the rates of successful AVF function (successful cannulation using two needles for \u226550% sessions over a 2-week period) at 6 and 12 months after creation, time to AVF maturation, and rates of assisted maturation.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n In total, 287 patients with first AVFs were identified, of which 142 patients had a previous TVC (102 contralateral, 40 ipsilateral) and 145 had no previous TVC. The no TVC group had higher rates of AVF function at both 6 months (69% versus 54%, OR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.00 to 3.39,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.05) and 12 months (84% versus 64%, OR, 3.10; 95% CI, 1.53 to 6.26,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.002) compared with the TVC group. The contralateral TVC group had higher rates of AVF function at 6 months (60% versus 40%, OR, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.01 to 4.88,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.05), but not at 12 months (66% versus 58%, OR, 1.42; 95% CI, 0.62 to 3.25,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.40) compared with the ipsilateral TVC group. The median time to AVF maturation in the contralateral and ipsilateral TVC groups were 121.5 and 146 days respectively (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.07). Assisted maturation rates were lower in no TVC group compared with the TVC group (12% versus 28%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.007), but similar between the contralateral and ipsilateral TVC groups (29% versus 26%,\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =0.74).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n Previous TVC use was associated with poorer AVF function at 6 and 12 months, with a higher rate of assisted maturation. The presence of an ipsilateral TVC was associated with lower successful AVF use at 6 months, compared with contralateral TVC.<\/jats:p>\n
