Hemodynamic parameters using Swan Ganz catheter were studied in 17 patients with end stage renal disease. The acute effects of radiocephalic AV fistula on the hemodynamic parameters were studied at 24 hours of surgery. The chronic effects were studied in 8 of these patients at 6 weeks of arteriovenous (AV) fistula. The AV fistula matured in 3 to 4 weeks time and blood flow was sufficient for hemodialysis (400 mL/min). Patients with chronic renal failure had normal or high normal hemodynamic parameters. Six weeks after the AV fistula, the cardiac index and the stroke volume index slightly increased along with a significant increase in systolic and mean systemic arterial pressure. None of the patients had significant increase in cardiac filling pressures. Although there was some fall in systemic vascular resistance index and rise in cardiac index and stroke volume index, these changes were physically small and unlikely to put any extra hemodynamic load. Thus, AV fistula in dialysis patients is not an appreciable cause of circulatory or pulmonary congestion.
