MRV Extremity Area of Interest Without and With IV Contrast There is no identified relevant literature to support the use of MRV extremity without and with IV contrast in evaluating a failure of an AVF to mature. MRV Extremity Area of Interest Without IV Contrast There is no identified relevant literature to support the use MRV extremity without IV contrast in evaluating a failure of an AVF to mature. Variant 6: Failure of an upper or lower extremity arteriovenous fistula to mature within 2 months after creation. Treatment and procedures. Fluoroscopy Fistulography Hemodialysis Access with Intervention The SIR Standards and Practice Committee suggests that AVFs that have not met criteria for maturity after 2 months since their creation are candidates for endovascular therapies. These include 3 distinct techniques. Firstly, balloon angioplasty of any afferent preanastomotic stenoses inhibiting arterialization of the AVF may be performed. Secondly, balloon angioplasty of the arterial anastomosis may be performed to augment inflow to the maturing venous segment. Thirdly, any small venous tributaries competing with the main venous outflow by shunting blood flow away from it and thus compromising its maturation may be embolized percutaneously [7]. When performing angioplasty of stenoses within the access circuit that are inhibiting AVF maturation, the maximum acceptable residual stenosis is <30%. Restoration of a palpable thrill posttreatment is the goal in each Dialysis Fistula Malfunction case and is the best predictor of optimal long-term outcomes [105]. Reported clinical success for treatment of nonmaturing AVFs is 92%. In studies using angioplasty as the principal therapeutic percutaneous technique, cumulative patency at 3-month (primary), 6-month (primary), 12-month (primary), 6-month (secondary), and 12- month (secondary) are 71%, 54%, 54%, 82%, and 77%, respectively [7].
