The radiocephalic fistula as vascular access for chemotherapy

World Journal of Surgery, 1983
AbstractIn 110 patients 127 radiocephalic arteriovenous fistulas were performed as vascular access for chemotherapy. If patients did not receive cytostatic agents prior to the operation or were treated for less than 4 weeks, the success rate of the operation was 75%. If chemotherapy was administered for longer than 4 weeks, it was possible to construct

Broncho-oesophageal fistula with vascular malformation

European Respiratory Journal, 1988
We present a patient with a type III congenital broncho-oesophageal fistula and a connection between the systemic and the pulmonary circulation. The congenital fistula caused chronic bronchopulmonary suppuration with bronchiectasis which in turn was the cause of a left-to-right shunt, probably through multiple precapillary or capillary anastomoses.

Practical guide of vascular ultrasound in arteriovenous fistulae

Vasa, 2023
Summary: The use of vascular ultrasound, especially with the increasing prevalence of percutaneous arteriovenous fistulas, has taken a central role as a diagnostic and therapeutic imaging procedure in vascular access creation. The current review article stresses the importance of vascular ultrasound in arteriovenous fistula, from planning to creation ...

Vascular-enteric fistula: Diagnosis by colonoscopy

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 1995
A 67-year-old man had a past history of abdominal aortic aneurysm repair in 1982 with an aortobifemoral graft. He was admitted to his local hospital on October 26, 1992 with a 2 week history of fever, chills and left lower leg swelling. He was found to be confused with a tender and swollen left calf. Blood cultures were positive for Bacteriodes species.

Point-of-care Vascular Ultrasound: Of Fistulas and Flows

Advances in Chronic Kidney Disease, 2021
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly being used in nephrology as a diagnostic tool, and there is a growing interest among physicians and nursing staff to learn how to use POCUS for the evaluation of the dialysis vascular access (DVA). The goal of POCUS is to extend the physical examination and more closely evaluate the DVA at bedside ...

Natural Vascular Remodelling After Arteriovenous Fistula Creation in Dialysis Patients With and Without Previous Ipsilateral Vascular Access

European Journal of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery, 2020
Objective: The aim of the study was to observe the natural haemodynamic changes after arteriovenous fistula (AVF) creation in haemodialysis patients with and without a previous ipsilateral vascular access.Methods: This was a retrospective, single centre ...

Vascular-enteric fistula: diagnosis by colonoscopy

Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, 1982
Aortoenteric fistula is a rare problem and is often not considered a diagnostic possibility in a patient presenting with gastrointestinal hemorrhage.' Between 0.6 and 5% of aortic vascular procedures are eventually complicated by such fistulas, and the history of a prior vascular reconstructive procedure should always suggest this diagnosis.

THE BASILIC VEIN FISTULA FOR VASCULAR ACCESS

ASAIO Journal, 1979
The basilic vein fistula provides reliable vascular access for chronic hemodialysis therapy. Early morbidity includes edema and mild pain. Ischemic complications have not developed in this series. Patency has been excellent in the initial period and no patient has yet developed infection, aneurysm or venous fibrosis, although longer follow-up is ...

Vascular malformations and arteriovenous fistulas of the kidney

Acta Radiologica, 2010
Vascular malformations of the kidney are disease processes that involve renal veins and arteries and include congenital arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and arteriovenous fistulas. AVMs are congenital communications between arteries and veins with a vascular nidus that bypass the capillary bed.

Diagnosis and Management of an Intraorbital Vascular Fistula

Ophthalmic Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2012
A spontaneous intraorbital arteriovenous fistula is an extremely rare phenomenon. More commonly, arteriovenous fistulas occur spontaneously as carotid cavernous fistulas and dural cavernous fistulas or are secondary to trauma. Surgical approaches vary widely and each carries their own set of potential problems.
