Efficacy of SMART Stent Placement for Salvage Angioplasty in Hemodialysis Patients with Recurrent Vascular Access Stenosis

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 ...

Stent grafts improved patency of ruptured hemodialysis vascular accesses [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2022
AbstractThis study aimed to compare stent graft with balloon tamponade for ruptured dialysis access during percutaneous transluminal angioplasty. Patients over an 8-year period (2010–2018) were identified from a database of 11,609 procedures. The primary endpoint was target lesion primary patency at 12 months.

Relationship between hemodialysis patients' educational level and arteriovenous fistula patency

, 2020
Objectives Vascular access is a lifeline for the patients who are in need of long-term hemodialysis. Native arteriovenous fistula is the most intensively preferred vascular access method owing to its longevity and convenience of use.

Improved Patency of an Elastomeric Vascular Graft by Hybridization

ASAIO Journal, 1992
A newly devised hybrid graft with high antithrombogenicity for small caliber vascular grafts was developed. The design concept was based on the incorporation of a compliant open cell structured graft, autogenous endothelial cells (ECs), and artificial basement membrane.

Risk factors associated with postoperative prosthetic graft patency in Leriche syndrome

Asian Journal of Surgery, 2019
Background: In Leriche syndrome, postoperative graft thrombosis remains one of the most significant clinical challenges. Methods: We reviewed 51 patients who underwent surgery for aortoiliac occlusive disease at our hospital from January 2007 to December

Functionalization of in vivo tissue-engineered living biotubes enhance patency and endothelization without the requirement of systemic anticoagulant administration

Bioactive Materials, 2023
Vascular regeneration and patency maintenance, without anticoagulant administration, represent key developmental trends to enhance small-diameter vascular grafts (SDVG) performance.

Acellular Human Placenta Small-Diameter Vessels as a Favorable Source of Super-Microsurgical Vascular Replacements: A Proof of Concept

Bioengineering, 2023
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the human placenta as a source of blood vessels that can be harvested for vascular graft fabrication in the submillimeter range. Our approach included graft modification to prevent thrombotic events.

Patients, healthcare providers, and general population preferences for hemodialysis vascular access: a discrete choice experiment

Frontiers in Public Health
BackgroundA patient-centered dialysis treatment option requires an understanding of patient preferences for alternative vascular accesses and nephrologists often face difficulties when recommending vascular access to end-stage kidney disease (ESKD ...

Novel strategies to improve the patency of vascular prostheses [PDF]

, 2006
Two novel strategies to improve the patency of vascular prostheses are described in this thesis. To improve the outcome of synthetic vascular bypass surgery, cell seeding is a promising concept that has extensively been investigated and is still evolving. To improve the short term effects due to acute thrombotic occlusion, thrombogenicity of prosthetic

Improvement in experimental vascular graft patency by controlled defibrinogenation

Journal of British Surgery, 1977
Abstract A sensitive animal model was used to investigate treatment designed to improve vascular graft patency. A Dacron graft was inserted into the infrarenal vena cava of 30 rabbits. Half were treated with subcutaneous Arvin for 28 days after operation. This produced a significant lowering of the postoperative plasma fibrinogen.
