Resumen:

The population with end stage renal disease (ESRD) that depends on a long-term hemodialysis (HD) access is exponentially growing worldwide. The need for a reliable, functioning and durable access is a lifeline for this complex group of patients. Arteries and veins located in the upper extremities are selected first, for either autologous or non-autologous vascular access creation. Common complications of arteriovenous circuits include: lack of maturation, thrombosis, stenosis along the trajectory of the hemodynamic circuit (peripheral and central locations), and eventually the complete exhaustion of suitable vessels in the upper limb. When upper extremity sites are not available, vascular access surgeons turn to the lower extremities. The classic presentation of a patient in need for this type of access include: exhaustion of upper extremity veins and the presence of bilateral central venous occlusive disease in thorax, this complication secondary to the prolonged used of central venous catheters. This chapter reviews surgical techniques, complications, durability, outcomes and challenges of arteriovenous access created in Lower Extremity. As the number of ESRD patients increases, the need for alternative and reliable approaches, techniques and novel technologies will become available to handle the anatomic and clinical challenges of this complex population. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.
