Abstract

Background Endovascular embolization techniques are generally the primary therapeutic modality for the treatment of arteriovenous fistula (AVF). This subset analysis aimed to assess the prospective long-term clinical outcomes of AVF treated with the SMART COIL System.

Methods Forty-one patients from the SMART registry (a prospective, multicenter, single-arm, postmarket registry) had AVF treated with endovascular coiling and were followed up to 12 ± 6 months after the procedure.

Results No patients (0/41) had a procedural device-related serious adverse event (SAE). Re-access with a guidewire due to catheter kickout was not required in 85.4% (35/41) of patients. Complete or adequate occlusion immediately after the procedure was achieved in 87.8% (36/41) of patients. The periprocedural SAE rate was 2.4% (1/41), and no periprocedural deaths occurred (0/41). Retreatment through follow-up occurred in 3.4% (1/29) of patients. At one year, the lesion occlusion was better or stable in 93.3% (28/30) of patients. The SAE rate after 24 hours through 365 days after the procedure was 26.8% (11/41). The one-year all-cause mortality rate was 2.4% (1/41), and 90.9% (20/22) of patients had a modified Rankin Scale score of 0 to 2 at one-year follow-up.

Conclusion Coiling of arteriovenous fistula with the SMART COIL System was safe and effective at one year.
