Brief summary

Many guidelines at home and abroad advocate that arteriovenous fistula should be the first choice of permanent vascular access, but it is easy to form thrombus in a short time after arteriovenous fistula molding, resulting in internal fistula stenosis or occlusion. In this study, the investigators plan to screen the patients with arteriovenous fistula in the blood purification center of our hospital. Through the study design of random grouping and open label, the investigators will discuss the use of low molecular weight heparin or warfarin to prevent thrombosis in a short period of time after arteriovenous fistula operation. According to the research results, the investigators will understand efficacy and safety of short-term postoperative anticoagulant therapy to prevente thrombosis in arterovenous fistula.

Interventions

OTHERnon anticoagulant therapy group

no anticoagulant was used after operation.

Intervention model description

The enrolled patients will be randomly assigned to either the anticoagulant group or the control group. Patients in the anticoagulant group will receive a low-dose subcutaneous injection of low molecular weight heparin for the prevention of AVF thrombosis, starting 12-24 hours after the surgery. For patients weighing less than 80kg, enoxaparin sodium 4000IU will be administered once daily, while for those weighing over 80kg, enoxaparin sodium 4000IU will be administered every 12 hours. After discharge, these patients will be switched to oral low-dose warfarin for anticoagulation, with a daily dose of 1.25mg (half tablet) on dialysis days and 2.5mg/day on non-dialysis days. Patients with significantly excessive body weight may be considered for a daily dose of 2.5mg, with a total treatment duration of 4 weeks. Patients in the control group will not receive anticoagulants postoperatively, but both groups will routinely receive antiplatelet therapy.
