abstract: introduction & objective: in patients with chronic renal failure who need chronic hemodialysis, av fistula is one of the most proper ways of vascular access. the aim of this study was to assess the patency and complications of av fistulas in patients with chronic hemodialysis. materials & methods: in this descriptive study 82 patients with chronic renal failure, who underwent av fistu...

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), the most common acquired hypercoagulable condition, is diagnosed by persistent presence of antiphospholipid antibodies and episodes of vascular thrombosis. It may be an important predisposing factor for stent thrombosis, resulting in poor outcomes. Also, anti-platelet therapy non-responsiveness is associated with stent thrombosis. We report a case of a 39-year-o...

Mild hyperhomocysteinemia, a putative risk factor for atherothrombotic cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality, may contribute to the excess incidence of atherothrombotic outcomes in the dialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease population. Hemodialysis access (fistula or graft) thrombosis is an unfortunately common and costly morbidity in this patient population. In this study, using a...

Antiphospholipid syndrome is an acquired autoimmune thrombophilia characterized by the development of recurrent vascular thrombosis any caliber and type or obstetric pathology mandatory identification persistently positive antiphospholipid antibodies. The main drug in treatment patients with warfarin. role direct-acting oral anticoagulants remains controversial. article discusses modern data on...

A successful functioning vascular access is the “lifeline” for a hemodialysis patient. Hemodialysis vascular access dysfunction is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis patients1-3. Improving vascular access outcomes remains an ongoing challenge for nephrologists, vascular access surgeons, and interventionists. In arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) and grafts (AVG), the most common...

uncontrolled hypertension is well- known to give rise to systemic complications involving multiple central organs. artherosclerosis leads to damage of the retinal vessels wall, contributing to venous stasis, thrombosis and finally, occlusion. retinal vein occlusions compromise vision through development of ischaemic maculopathy, macular oedema, and rubeotic glaucoma. laser photocoagulation rema...

Abstract Thrombosis in general, and especially venous thromboembolism (VTE) is one of the most common complications associated with COVID-19 infection. We present a 48 years old male patient dyspnea severe multisite post Covid-19 disease thrombotic complications, pattern never seen before, that includes both ventricles, pulmonary arteries peripheral vein involvement, assessed by echocardiograph...

We report a case of staphylococcal sepsis with vascular complications including peripheral emboli and renal vein thrombosis. Bilateral renal vein thrombosis has not been reported as a complication of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) axillary abscess. Uncontrolled diabetes was the only detected predisposing medical condition. The patient was treated successfully with incision and drainage of soft-tiss...

Vascular disease of the upper extremity consists of a diverse group of conditions of different etiologies and presentations. These conditions can be broken down into the following groups: (a) vaso-occlusive disease, which consists of embolism, thrombosis, aneurysms, atherosclerosis, and vasculitis; (b) vasospastic conditions, including Raynaud’s disease, secondary Raynaud’s phenomenon, acrocyan...
