A 39-year-old woman arrived at our emergency department, complaining of severe pain and swelling of her left leg. She had slipped down stairs and injured on her left leg about 3 months ago. Computed tomography angiography showed left distal superficial femoral artery's pseudoaneurysm with arteriovenous fistula and thrombotic occlusion of left common iliac vein. We decided to do endovascular int...

This is a case report of a 61-year-old female presenting with ongoing chest pain in the setting of an NSTEMI with lateral ST-T changes. On attempting to open the left circumflex (LCX), it resulted in a proximal LCX dissection. The patient remained stable with no further chest pain. She was treated with IV Eptifibatide for 48 hours and restudied in 72 hours. Repeat coronary angiography showed a ...

Introduction The incidence of renal failure is gradually increasing in India. These patients need renal replacement therapy. Renal replacement therapy is provided in the form of dialysis and renal transplant. As the survival after renal failure is increasing because of the availability of renal replacement therapy, there is increased demand for angio access. For temporary angio access central d...

BACKGROUND The immediate success and flow rate of a newly constructed arteriovenous fistula is dependent on several haemodynamic factors affecting the inflow and outflow of the fistula. METHODS In this study we evaluated the effect of preoperative arterial blood pressure, arterial inflow, subclavian venous flow, and operative venous outflow resistance on the immediate success, with special re...

INTRODUCTION The authors describe a rare but potentially severe, sometimes even life-threatening complication occurring after various invasive renal interventions. The cause that gives rise to a fistula formation between close branches of renal artery and vein is an injury of these vessels during resection of a localised renal tumour, renal biopsy, percutaneous nephrostomy, and even blunt injur...

Life expectancy in patient with established kidney failure is considerably shortened with worsening quality of life. Through the provision of renal replacement therapy, survival and quality of life of advanced renal disease patients can be markedly improved. Haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis are the treatment modalities in patients with end-stage renal disease. The efficiency of haemodialys...

BACKGROUND A patent arteriovenous (AV) fistula induces activation of regional vascular endothelium and vascular shear force. Shear stress is an important physiological force in mobilizing endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). This study aimed to explore the perioperative changes of circulating EPC levels for patients who require hemodialysis and underwent radiocephalic fistula operation. METHO...
