The efficacy of aspirin and dipyridamole on the patency of arteriovenous fistulae and grafts; Review of the randomized control trials [PDF]
Reviews in Clinical Medicine, 2014 Vascular access failure is known as a principal cause of morbidity of end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. The major reason for vascular access failure is the neointimal hyperplasia which leads to venous thrombosis and stenosis.

Efficacy of SMART Stent Placement for Salvage Angioplasty in Hemodialysis Patients with Recurrent Vascular Access Stenosis [PDF]
International Journal of Nephrology, 2011 Vascular access stenosis is a major complication in hemodialysis patients. We prospectively observed 50 patients in whom 50 nitinol shape-memory alloy-recoverable technology (SMART) stents were used as salvage therapy for recurrent peripheral venous ...

Towards Endoscopic No-Touch Saphenous Vein Graft Harvesting in Coronary Bypass Surgery [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2022 The saphenous vein is the most used conduit for coronary artery bypass surgery. However, the patency rate of this graft is inferior to the internal thoracic artery patency rate, which is the gold standard.

Evaluation of small-diameter silk vascular grafts implanted in dogsCentral MessagePerspective
JTCVS Open, 2021 Objectives: Vascular replacement is one treatment for cardiovascular disease. However, in blood vessels with a diameter less than 6 mm, the existing artificial vascular grafts may be occluded by thrombus formation or intimal hyperplasia.
