Routine preoperative vascular ultrasound improves patency and use of arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis: a randomized trial.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis but have a considerable failure rate. This study investigated whether routine preoperative vascular ultrasound results in better AVF outcome than physical examination. DESIGN, SETTING, PARTICIPANTS, & MEASUREMENTS Patients with end-stage kidney disease referred for permanent access forma...
متن کاملMost Important Chronic Complications of Arteriovenous Fistulas for Hemodialysis
The aim of this review was to highlight the most important complications of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) for hemodialysis (HD). The quality of vascular access for HD should be suitable for repeated puncture and allow a high blood flow rate for high-efficiency dialysis with minimal complications. The dialysis staff must be well versed in manipulation of the AVF, and there should be a minimal ne...
متن کاملCell proliferation in human arteriovenous fistulas used for hemodialysis.
The long-term patency of arteriovenous (AV) fistulas created for hemodialysis of renal-failure patients is usually measured in months, particularly when polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material is interposed between the artery and vein. This is due to the rapid development of intimal hyperplastic lesions in the anastomosis region of the PTFE graft material with the vein. We studied the prolifera...
متن کاملSpinal epidural arteriovenous fistulas: arterial and venous approaches to embolization.
The authors describe two patients with multiple spinal arteriovenous fistulas and exclusive epidural venous drainage. Both presented with a myelopathy caused by compression by large epidural veins. Both had arterial embolizations, but one required a venous approach to achieve a stable clinical result.
متن کاملCoronary Arteriovenous Fistulas in Adult Patients: Surgical Management and Outcomes
Objective The aim of this study was to describe the demographic, clinical and anatomic characteristics of coronary arteriovenous fistulas in adult patients who underwent open cardiac surgery and to review surgical management and outcomes. Methods Twenty-one adult patients (12 female, 9 male; mean age: 56.1±7.9 years) who underwent surgical treatment for coronary arteriovenous fistulas were re...
