Background: It is very important to obtain vascular access that resists repeated punctures and maintains an adequate blood flow for performing hemodialysis in patients with ESRD. This study was designed to identify the risk factors that may influence the patency rate of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) using perforating vein on antecubital fossa. Material and Method: We analyzed 205 cases of AVF in 195 patients who underwent hemodialysis access surgery on antecubital fossa in our hospital from May 2006 to December 2009. Result: The patency rate of AVF from 6 months after surgery using perforating vein was 75.91%. The risk factors that influence the patency rate was age. There was no statistic difference between used vessels. Conclusion: The patency of the AVF using perforating vein on antecubital fossa was comparable. The condition of sex and location and presence or absence of diabetes and hypertension and other cardio-neurovascular disease did not make statistically significant effect on the AVF patency rate. The age was an independent risk factor for patency rate. (Korean J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2010;43:642-647)
