Arteriovenous Fistula Maturation, Functional Patency, and Intervention Rates.

JAMA Surgery, 2021
Importance National initiatives have emphasized the use of autogenous arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) for hemodialysis, but their purported benefits have been questioned.

Challenges and strategies for in situ endothelialization and long-term lumen patency of vascular grafts

Bioactive Materials, 2020
Vascular diseases are the most prevalent cause of ischemic necrosis of tissue and organ, which even result in dysfunction and death. Vascular regeneration or artificial vascular graft, as the conventional treatment modality, has received keen attentions.

Utilization, patency, and complications associated with vascular access for hemodialysis in the United States

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2018
Background: This study examines the utilization and outcomes of vascular access for long‐term hemodialysis in the United States and describes the impact of temporizing catheter use on outcomes. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence, patency, and associated

A randomized trial of vonapanitase (PATENCY‐1) to promote radiocephalic fistula patency and use for hemodialysis

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2019
Objective Arteriovenous fistulas created in patients with chronic kidney disease often lose patency and fail to become usable. This prospective trial evaluated the efficacy of vonapanitase, a recombinant human elastase, in promoting radiocephalic fistula

Predictors of patency after balloon angioplasty in hemodialysis fistulas: a systematic review.

Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology, 2014
Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is an established treatment for dysfunctional hemodialysis fistulas. This article systematically reviews evidence for predictors of patency after PTA.

Regional Peak Mucosal Cooling Predicts the Perception of Nasal Patency

The Laryngoscope, 2013
Nasal obstruction is the principal symptom that drives patients with rhinosinus disease to seek medical treatment. However, patient perception of obstruction often bears little relationship to actual measured physical obstruction of airflow. This lack of

Type of arteriovenous vascular access and association with patency and mortality

BMC Nephrology, 2013
BackgroundThere are only a few risk factors known for primary patency loss in patients with an arteriovenous graft or fistula. Furthermore, a limited number of studies have investigated the association between arteriovenous access modality and primary ...
