Objective: Preoperative ultrasound vessel mapping is a crucial step in operative planning for permanent hemodialysis access creation. Whereas the majority of the focus remains on vein caliber, anatomic arterial variants are often overlooked. Despite being a relatively common variation, little is known about the impact of a high brachial bifurcation on hemodialysis access outcomes. Our goal was to examine the relationship between a high brachial bifurcation and arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation and patency in patients undergoing upper arm hemodialysis access placement. Methods: This was a retrospective review of antecubital fossa AVFs created at our institution between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2018. Patients with high brachial bifurcations were identified on the basis of preoperative vessel mapping. To allow like comparison, AVFs performed with normal arterial anatomy contralateral to a high bifurcation were analyzed. Primary outcomes were functional patency and primary patency. Patients were followed up for at least 1 year postoperatively. Results: In total, 85 antecubital AVFs were analyzed, 57 ipsilateral to the high bifurcation and 28 with normal anatomy contralate
