Operative management of vascular thoracic outlet syndrome (VTOS) over two decades: patency, complications, and functional outcome [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic SurgeryBackground Vascular thoracic outlet syndrome (VTOS), encompassing both venous and arterial subtypes, arises from extrinsic compression of the subclavian vessels within the thoracic outlet, leading to significant morbidity.

Patency of arteriovenous fistulas in hemodialysis in French Guiana: influence of vascular flow, climate and clinical factors [PDF]
BMC NephrologyIntroduction Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred access for hemodialysis. Achieving one-year patency is crucial to avoid dependence on central venous catheters, which carry significant risks of infection and thrombosis.

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.

Maintaining Patency of Vascular Access for Haemodialysis [PDF]
Cardiovascular Engineering and Technology, 2017 All types of vascular access, a necessity for haemodialysis, are prone to thrombosis and if untreated this results in failure. Thrombosis results from the combination of impaired blood flow, endothelial and vessel wall injury and a propensity towards pro-coagulative states, either intrinsic or aggravated by dialysis or dehydration.

Results of preclinical trials in a sheep model of biodegradable small-diameter vascular grafts
Вестник трансплантологии и искусственных органов, 2022 Surface modification of polymer vascular matrices is a promising development for preventing vascular graft thrombosis, improving long-term patency and accelerating remodeling. Objective: to study the outcomes of long-term patency of PHBV/PCL/GFmix grafts

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.

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.

Effect of compliance mismatch on vascular graft patency [PDF]
Journal of Vascular Surgery, 1987 The hypothesis that a mismatch in compliance between a vascular graft and its host artery is detrimental to graft patency was tested by implanting paired arterial autografts, prepared with differential glutaraldehyde fixation of carotid arteries in the femoral arteries of dogs.

Type of arteriovenous vascular access and association with patency and mortality [PDF]
BMC Nephrology, 2013 Abstract Background There 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 patency loss and mortality.
