For patients undergoing hemodialysis, arteriovenous fistula composition is an important life-related surgery. End-stage renal ...

Objective: Surveillance techniques for arteriovenous fistulae are required to maintain functional vascular access, with two-dimensional duplex ultrasound the most widely used imaging modality. This ...

The Arteriovenous (AV) fistula, a surgically constructed link between an artery and a vein, is the gold standard of dialysis access. Read on to learn why it is preferred over other options and how ...

Intraorbital arteriovenous fistulas (IOAVFs) are rare vascular pathologies that may be effectively treated with direct puncture (DP) of the venous supply and may offer a definitive and safe cure when ...

Caroticocavernous fistula or cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (CS-DAVF) has presented various treatment challenges over many years. This paper outlines these challenges in a review of the ...

ABSTRACT: Aim (s): Complex Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) poses challenges to cannulation. Ultrasound (US)-guided cannulation may promote successful cannulation and prevent AVF-related complications.

Learn what an AV fistula is, why you might need one before dialysis, how it's created, and what the risks are.

Our prospective study sought to analyze the relationship between risk factors for arteriovenous fistula failure (advanced age, female sex, diabetes, obesity, central venous catheter on the same side ...

Purpose: The success and clinical utility of arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) are complicated by neointimal hyperplasia (NIH). Radiopaque and drug-eluting perivascular wraps have demonstrated attenuation ...

The creation and maturation of arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) for hemodialysis (HD) are crucial to maintain an effective dialysis therapy. The failure of AVF maturation is a daily obstacle for ...

Duplex ultrasound-guided angioplasty (DA) of hemodialysis vascular access for treatment of arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) is efficacious and safe, according to study findings published in the Journal of ...
