Hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula ligation after renal transplantation: Impact on graft resistive index

Arteriovenous fistula after hair transplantation.

The most common cosmetic operation for men is hair transplantation [1]. The punch-graft technique has emerged as the simplest and most effective method. It is carried out under local anesthesia and has relatively few complications [2] . We report a rare complication of punch-graft transplantation, an arteriovenous malformation; it has not been previously documented angiographically in the liter...

Arteriovenous fistula after renal transplantation: utility, futility or threat?

Creation of an arteriovenous (AV) fistula for haemodialysis therapy provides convenient access to the circulation in patients with end-stage renal disease. However, the chronic volume overload induced by the AV fistula induces structural and functional cardiac changes, including left ventricular remodelling, which may be deleterious. The balance between the need for vascular access and the dele...

Arteriovenous Fistula Recirculation in Hemodialysis

Recently, with great interest we read the review article by Zeraati et al. entitled “A review article: access recirculation among end stage renal disease patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis” in your most valuable journal (1). The author summarized some of observations about causes and clinical significance of arteriovenous (AV) fistula recirculation, techniques for accurate assessment ...

Relationship Between 'Immediate' Resistive Index Measurement After Renal Transplantation and Renal Allograft Outcomes.

BACKGROUND The arterial resistive index, also referred to as the resistive index (RI) or Pourcelot Index, is a measure of pulsatile blood flow. Previous studies have demonstrated the usefulness of the RI as a predictor of allograft outcomes based on RI measurement in the later stages after transplantation. However, there is little evidence of the predictive value of "immediate" RI measurement w...
