Willingness to participate in a randomized trial comparing catheters to fistulas for vascular access in incident hemodialysis patients: an international survey of nephrologists [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Current guidelines favor fistulas over catheters as vascular access. Yet, the observational literature comparing fistulas to catheters has important limitations and biases that may be difficult to overcome in the absence of randomization ...

Arteriovenous fistula as a complication of transradial coronary angiography: a case report
Introduction Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula is a vascular condition that may result from coronary angiography. Many case reports have described arteriovenous fistula occurrence after coronary angiography using the transfemoral access route, but rarely ...

Immediate access arteriovenous grafts versus tunnelled central venous catheters: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial [PDF]
Background Autologous arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are the optimal form of vascular access for haemodialysis. AVFs typically require 6 to 8 weeks to “mature” from the time of surgery before they can be cannulated.

Two-year cumulative patency of endovascular arteriovenous fistula
Background and objectives: The recent advent of a device to create a proximal radial artery arteriovenous fistula using an endovascular approach to create the anastomosis represents a significant advance in dialysis access creation.

Novel Endovascular Techniques for Dialysis Access-Associated Steal Syndrome (DASS)
End-stage renal disease patients with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) encounter many vascular risks related to reduced or increased arteriovenous fistula flow. Dialysis access-associated steal syndrome is one of the devastating complications that may lead to

Influence of Long-term Cytotoxic Chemotherapy on the Condition of Peripheral Venous Channel [PDF]
The necessity of long-term venous access in cancer patients appears at frequent and long-term courses of cytotoxic therapy. Peripheral veins of forearms are most often used for these aims. The conditions of peripheral venous channel in 32 cancer patients,

BACKGROUND Arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are the preferred form of hemodialysis vascular access, but maturation failures occur frequently, often resulting in prolonged catheter use.

High-Flow Vascular Malformations in Children. [PDF]
Children can have a variety of intracranial vascular anomalies ranging from small and incidental with no clinical consequences to complex lesions that can cause substantial neurologic deficits, heart failure, or profoundly affect development. In contrast

Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistula successfully treated by combined open-endovascular procedure [PDF]
Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas constitute a rare though potentially devastating disease. Because the arterial (high-pressure) blood flow drains directly into the low-pressure venous system, there is a high risk of bleeding and associated ...
