Abstract:
This paper presented a case that a cryopreserved allogeneic vessel (iliac artery) was used to establish an arteriovenous graft fistula. It was the first case in China of creating an arteriovenous graft fistula using a cryopreserved allogeneic vessel. The surgery was successful, and the fistula was functioning. Allogeneic vessels processed using cryopreservation are characterized by low antigenicity, excellent biocompatibility, the capacity for integration with the patient's own tissues within the transplanted vessel, and a notable resistance to infection. For patients who are unsuitable for or have failed arteriovenous fistula creation, using cryopreserved allogeneic vessels for fistula establishment can be an alternative option, especially for patients with a history of multiple failed fistula surgeries and recurrent infections.
