Treatment of angioaccess-induced ischemia by revascularization

Treatment of hand ischemia following angioaccess surgery using the distal revascularization interval-ligation technique with preservation of vascular access: description of an 18-case series.

Hand ischemia is a rare complication of angioaccess surgery for hemodialysis. Management usually requires ligation of the arteriovenous fistula (AVF). The purpose of this report is to describe our experience with the use of the distal revascularization interval-ligation (DRIL) technique for treatment of ischemia without ligation of the AVF. From January 1999 to September 2002, the DRIL techniqu...

Ischemia-Guided Percutaneous Revascularization

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com The study of Hachamovitch et al. [3] emphasized the relationship between inducible ischemia on SPECT and the presence of shortterm survival benefits with early revascularization vs. medical therapy.Revascularization was associated with a reduction in mortality for patients having moderate to severe ischemia. The cut-off level of ischemic myocardium,...

Successful angioaccess.

Surgery for hemodialysis access is the most commonly performed vascular surgical operation in the United States, predominantly because of a steady increase in the prevalence of end-stage renal disease. Multiple studies have confirmed the improved patency rate and lower infection rates for native arteriovenous fistulae compared with prosthetic arteriovenous grafts. In formulating a strategy for ...

Fenofibrate promotes ischemia-induced revascularization through the adiponectin-dependent pathway.

Recent clinical trials demonstrated that PPARα agonist fenofibrate reduces cardiovascular events, including limb amputation in people with type 2 diabetes. Here, we investigated whether fenofibrate modulates the revascularization process in a mouse model of hindlimb ischemia. Treatment with fenofibrate led to acceleration of revascularization of ischemic hindlimb relative to the contralatereal ...
