Autogenous arteriovenous elbow fistula for haemodialysis and upper extremity ischemia.
BACKGROUND The autogenous brachiocephalic or brachiobasilic arteriovenous elbow fistula is not considered to be only the secondary haemodialysis access. In patients with an unsuitable forearm vessel bundle, it is indicated as primary access and it is the method preferred to the fistula creation using a vascular prosthesis. Its rather rare complication is the development of upper extremity ische...
متن کاملObesity is not an obstacle for successful autogenous arteriovenous fistula creation in haemodialysis.
BACKGROUND Obesity, which is often associated with diabetes, is increasingly encountered in the haemodialysed population, and this may produce difficulty in autogenous arteriovenous fistula creation. Prosthetic angioaccess or catheters, when used in place of autogenous fistulas, increase thrombotic and infectious complications in these already challenged patients. METHODS This prospective stu...
متن کاملUpper Extremity Ischemia Complicating Ulcerative Plaque in Descending Aorta
A 54-year-old female patient was presented with upper extremity ischemia. Further investigation revealed ulcerated atherosclerosis plaque in aorta with intramural hematoma and clot formation. The subject underwent a successful surgical resection of mass with the assistance of cardiopulmonary bypass and total circulatory arrest.
متن کاملUpper extremity arteriovenous dialysis fistula resulting in cavernous sinus arterialized blood flow.
Arterialized blood flow in the cavernous sinus may result from carotid-cavernous fistula or dural venous fistula. We encountered an unusual case of arterialized blood flow in the cavernous sinus on MR angiography resulting from arterialized retrograde venous flow in the internal jugular vein. This abnormal flow originated from an upper extremity dialysis arteriovenous fistula in the presence of...
متن کاملForty years on haemodialysis with the original arteriovenous fistula
Sir, In contrast to the reported poor prognosis of haemodialysis patients, the article by Heaf et al. [1] published in a recent issue of Clinical Kidney Journal reports the remarkable long-term survival of one such patient. We too have a similar story and can confirm that long-term survival is entirely possible. This may offer hope and allay the fears and depression that accompany the prospect ...
