We assessed functional patency and compared complication rates. Patency was also compared between one-stage and two-stage creation procedures for the BBAVF group. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p> Two hundred and thirty-eight patients underwent the creation of a BBAVF (N = 136) or a BAPG (N = 102). Median follow-up was 17 months (range, 1-79). At 6, 12 and 24 months, patients in the BBAVF group had significantly higher primary patency (80%, 69%, 56% vs. 77%, 56%, 37%, respectively; p = 0.005), assisted primary patency (90%, 80%, 71% vs. 80%, 66%, 48%; p&lt;0.0001) and secondary patency (93%, 84%, 72% vs. 94%, 87%, 62%; p = 0.006). Two-stage BBAVF had a significantly higher secondary patency (98%, 92%, 78% vs. 90%, 80%, 68%; p = 0.04) than one-stage BBAVF. The rate of infectious complications was significantly lower in the BBAVF group than in the BAPG group (0.8% vs. 6.9%; p = 0.03). <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p> In this large cohort, BBAVF had a higher functional patency and lower rate of infectious complications than BAPG. After exhaustion of cephalic veins, we suggest creation of a BBAVF instead of BAPG, whenever anatomically feasible. The superiority of one-stage or two-stage BBAVF creation procedure must be further investigated. <\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.5301\/jva.5000433","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,6,25]],"date-time":"2015-06-25T10:31:23Z","timestamp":1435228283000},"page":"486-492","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["Higher Patency of Transposed Brachio-Basilic Arteriovenous Fistulas Compared to Brachio-Axillary Grafts for Hemodialysis Patients"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Guillaume","family":"Marques","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Vascular Surgery, University Hospital of Reims, Reims -
