Study of the Risk of Ischaemia Following the Creation of an Arteriovenous Fistula

The purpose of this study is to identify functional vascular changes and clinical factors correlated with the occurrence of short- or medium-term hand ischaemia after arteriovenous fistula creation.

This is a non-interventional, prospective, non-randomised, descriptive, single-centre study with no comparator. The study population will be adult patients with chronic renal failure for whom an arteriovenous fistula has been planned. Patients requiring the creation of an arteriovenous fistula by the surgeons at Hôpital Privé des Peupliers will be seen beforehand in the usual pre-operative consultation, during which the surgeon will explain the principle of the operation and the expected benefits/risks. On the day of surgery, patients will undergo the surgical procedure to create an arteriovenous fistula and will be discharged the same day. Patients will be reviewed during post-operative follow-up visits at 1, 6 and 12 months as in standard practice. All the data collected in the study were collected in routine medical practice.
