Upper extremity hemodialysis arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) can become aneurysmal over time due to repeated cannulation and/or outflow steno-occlusive disease. The optimal surgical management of aneury...
We performed a retrospective review in which current procedural terminology codes were used to screen for patients who had undergone surgical treatment of aneurysmal AVFs between 2016 and 2021 at a si...
From 2016 to 2021, 6951 patients had undergone 16,190 dialysis access procedures. Of these procedures, 381 (2.4%) were related to surgical treatment of an aneurysmal AVF. We excluded 58 primary AVF li...
AVF aneurysmorrhaphy was associated with improved primary assisted and secondary patency and decreased abandonment of dialysis access. We suggest using aneurysmorrhaphy when AVF aneurysms are indicate...
Portugal has one of the highest prevalence of patients on a regular dialysis program. This population has a higher incidence of peripheral arterial disease with higher rates of postoperative morbidity...
A retrospective single-center study of infrapopliteal bypass for CLTI was performed between 2012 and 2019. Patients were divided in two groups based on dialysis status (group 1 incorporated patients o...
A total of 352 infrapopliteal bypasses were performed in 310 patients with CLTI. Fourteen percent of the revascularizations were performed on dialysis patients (48/352). Median age was 73 years (inter...
Infrapopliteal bypass for CLTI, on dialysis patients, resulted in lower PP rates. No differences were observed in freedom from CLTI, TP, limb salvage and survival....
Controversy still exists regarding how much the inflow arterial percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) contributed to maintaining fistula function for hemodialysis. We aimed to analyze patency an...
Although randomized data remain inconclusive, invasive endovenous therapy is increasingly favored in patients with extensive iliocaval or iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) to reduce the rates of ...
The Inari ClotTriever is a percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy system consisting of an expandable nitinol collection bag that is dragged along the vein wall, separating and capturing thrombus for col...
Eighteen patients underwent ClotTriever thrombectomy between June 2019 and November 2021. Most patients (N = 16, 89%) presented within 2 weeks of symptom onset, and identifiable provoking factors were...
Venous flow was re-established in all 18 patients treated with the ClotTriever in this series, with no bleeding complications, and median postprocedure length of stay of 2 days. All patients with avai...
To review current issues related to coronary artery graft patency and outcomes....
The association of coronary artery graft patency with clinical outcomes is a traditional concept; however, it has been challenged by the results of numerous studies. Key limitations of the existing ev...
The relationship between graft failure and clinical events is complex and variable. Overall, the preponderance of current data suggests a possible association between graft failure and nonfatal clinic...
Left internal thoracic artery to left anterior descending artery (LITA-LADA) grafting has become a fundamental part of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). This grafting has led to an increased use...
Twenty-six patients from a previous study with critical stenosis in all target vessels underwent complete arterial CABG with LITA and RA grafts from 1996 to 2003. They all underwent midterm multidetec...
Twelve patients (46%) are alive with no angina symptoms. Six patients underwent a second image exam 12 to 16 years (average of 14 years) after surgery, with a total of six LITA-LADA and 14 RA grafts w...
Patients with midterm associated LITA and RA patent grafts show similar optimal long-term patency rates of both types of grafts with excellent clinical outcome....
Blind tunneling of subfascial femoropopliteal bypass grafts may result in inadvertent graft passage through the sartorius. The purpose of this study was to determine whether intramuscular passage of f...
Patients undergoing femoropopliteal bypass at a Veterans Administration hospital and associated university medical center over a recent 13-year period who also had postoperative cross-sectional imagin...
370 femoropopliteal grafts were identified, among which 258 (70%) were subfascial. Vein grafts comprised 51% of the subfascial grafts, and 53% were inserted above the knee. Available postoperative ima...
This study failed to demonstrate significantly inferior primary patency among subfascial femoropopliteal grafts tunneled intramuscularly. Larger studies may be required to adequately detect any differ...
Background Although clinical trials have reported favorable outcomes after drug-coated balloon (DCB) therapy for femoropopliteal lesions, their real-world performance and predictors have not been well...
The heterogeneous quality of studies on arteriovenous fistulas outcome, with variable clinical settings and large variations in definitions of patency and failure rates, leads to frequent misinterpret...
We retrospectively analyzed all autologous arteriovenous fistulas at our center over a 10-year period (2012-2022). Primary and secondary patency analysis was conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method; m...
Of 312 arteriovenous fistulas, 57.5% (n = 181) were radio-cephalic (RC_AVF), 35.2% (n = 111) brachio-cephalic (BC_AVF), and 6.3% (n = 20) brachio-basilic (BB_AVF). 6, 12, and 24 months follow-up was a...
Vascular access care remains challenging and salvage interventions are often needed to achieve maturation or maintain patency. Strict adherence to standardized outcome reporting in vascular access sur...
Saphenous vein grafts (SVG) are the most commonly used conduits in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Graft failure is observed in up to 50% of SVG at 10 years after surgery. Whether a difference...
We performed a study-level meta-analysis to evaluate sex-related differences in follow-up patency rates of SVG after CABG. A systematic literature search was conducted to identify studies on CABG that...
Seventeen studies totaling 8235 patients and 14,781 SVG grafts were included. There was no significant difference in follow-up SVG patency rates between men and women (incidence rate ratio 0.96, 95% c...
