Patency rates of the arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2014
BACKGROUND Advantages of the arteriovenous fistula (AVF), including long patency and few complications, were ascertained more than 2 decades ago and may not apply to the contemporary dialysis population. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Dynamic pseudo‐continuous arterial spin labeling angiography using a 3D‐radial multi‐spoke spoiled gradient‐recalled sequence

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Accurate identification of arterial feeders and draining veins is critical for treatment decision‐making in patients with intracranial high‐flow vascular lesions. Currently available MRI sequences lack the temporal and spatial resolution needed for this task.

Successful restoration of arteriovenous dialysis access patency after late intervention. [PDF]

, 2014
BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous dialysis access may be lost due to stenosis and thrombosis. Patency may be restored by thrombectomy or thrombolysis, but this is often not undertaken when the presentation is delayed.

Hemodynamic and Biologic Determinates of Arteriovenous Fistula Outcomes in Renal Failure Patients

BioMed Research International, 2015
The outcome of patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis depends on a functioning vascular access. Although a variety of access options are available, the arteriovenous fistula remains the best vascular access.

Calf circumference predicts sarcopenia and all‐cause mortality in older patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis: A prospective cohort study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background The role of calf circumference (CC) in predicting sarcopenia and mortality of patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) remains debated. This study assessed CC's predictive value, optimal threshold, and mortality association in older patients undergoing MHD. Methods An observational cohort study was conducted on older adult

Brachial vein transposition arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis access [PDF]

, 2009
BackgroundAn arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis, offering lower morbidity, mortality, and cost compared with grafts or catheters. Patients with a difficult access extremity have often lost all superficial veins,

Current tools for prediction of arteriovenous fistula outcomes

Clinical Kidney Journal, 2015
It remains challenging to accurately predict whether an individual arteriovenous fistula (AVF) will mature and be useable for haemodialysis vascular access.

CORONARY ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA [PDF]

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1972
Coronary arteriovenous fistulas are no longer rare. They should be suspected whenever there are atypical continuous murmurs over the sternum. Aortography and coronary arteriography reveal the origin of the anomalous coronary arteries and show their termination, most often in the right heart structures.Whether to operate is an individual decision.
