Intimal changes in the cephalic vein of renal failure patients before arterio-venous fistula (AVF) construction.
Native cephalic vein remains the superior dialysis conduit, even thirty years after it was first described. However, up to 37% of hemodialysis patients develop progressive stenosis in the venous circuit of arterio-venous fistula (AVF), which may later cause thrombosis and occlusion. To study the pre-existing morphological changes in the wall of the cephalic vein before AVF construction, we coll...
متن کاملPre-existing histopathological changes in the cephalic vein of renal failure patients before arterio-venous fistula (AVF) construction.
BACKGROUND Native cephalic vein remains the superior dialysis conduit, even 30 years after it was first described. However, up to 37% of hemodialysis patients develop progressive stenosis in the venous circuit of arterio-venous fistula (AVF), which may later cause thrombosis and occlusion. MATERIAL AND METHODS To study the pre-existing morphological changes in the wall of the cephalic vein be...
متن کاملSmooth muscle changes in the cephalic vein of renal failure patients before use as an arteriovenous fistula (AVF).
Complications in arteriovenous fistula (AVF) occur in up to 35% of renal failure patients on hemodialysis. The most frequent complication is thrombosis, usually from stenotic lesions in the venous outflow system. To study the pre-existing smooth muscle changes in the cephalic vein of these patients, we prospectively collected a total of 17 cephalic vein specimens from 3 normal controls and 14 r...

متن کاملHigh-Output Heart Failure Due to an Iliac Arterio-Venous Fistula in Mycotic Aneurysm
Herein, we report a patient with arterio-venous fistula secondary to mycotic aneurysm, causing high output heart failure. The patient had one-year history of refractory heart failure and recurrent pulmonary edema. This presentation is a good example of curative surgically treatable cause of high-output congestive heart failure.Iran J Med Sci 2005; 30(1): 41-44. Keywords ● Arterio-venous fistula...
