Cell proliferation in human arteriovenous fistulas used for hemodialysis.
The long-term patency of arteriovenous (AV) fistulas created for hemodialysis of renal-failure patients is usually measured in months, particularly when polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) material is interposed between the artery and vein. This is due to the rapid development of intimal hyperplastic lesions in the anastomosis region of the PTFE graft material with the vein. We studied the prolifera...
متن کاملDistribution and complications of native arteriovenous fistulas in maintenance hemodialysis patients: a single-center study.
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the use of vascular access in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients and the complications of native arteriovenous fistulas (NAVFs) in a Chinese single center. METHODS Patients (n=376) were recruited in our descriptive cross-sectional study, 350 of them had wrist NAVFs (wrist group),and 18 of them had elbow NAVFs (elbow group). We evaluated...
متن کاملArteriovenous fistulas among incident hemodialysis patients in Department of Defense and Veterans Affairs facilities.
A higher proportion of patients initiate hemodialysis (HD) with an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in countries with universal health care systems compared with the United States. Because federally sponsored national health care organizations in the United States, such as the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) and the Department of Defense (DoD), are similar to a universal health care model, we s...
متن کاملMost Important Chronic Complications of Arteriovenous Fistulas for Hemodialysis
The aim of this review was to highlight the most important complications of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) for hemodialysis (HD). The quality of vascular access for HD should be suitable for repeated puncture and allow a high blood flow rate for high-efficiency dialysis with minimal complications. The dialysis staff must be well versed in manipulation of the AVF, and there should be a minimal ne...
متن کاملArteriovenous FistulAs versus Arteriovenous GrAFts
For the nephrologist and surgeon, maintaining vascular access is a significant challenge in hemodialysis (HD), because the portal is vulnerable to infection, stenosis, and thrombus. Vascular access options for HD include the placement of arteriovenous (AV) fistulas, AV grafts, and double-lumen, cuffed central vein catheters. Catheter use is generally associated with higher rates of infection an...
