Pilot study using intraoperative fluorescence angiography during arteriovenous hemodialysis access surgery.

CONCLUSION: Intraoperative fluorescence angiography could visualize the deterioration of ipsilateral hand microperfusion after surgical creation of an arteriovenous fistula. It seems to be a promising tool to detect patients at risk for hemodialysis access-induced distal ischemia early in the peri- or even intraoperative stage.
