Pre-emptive correction for haemodialysis arteriovenous access stenosis

Meta-analysis and commentary: Preemptive correction of arteriovenous access stenosis.

Pre-emptive angioaccess for haemodialysis in the elderly.

BACKGROUND The fastest growing population group in the UK is the elderly, particularly those aged ≥ 80 years. The primary aim of this study was to assess if age was a determining factor for successful first dialysis through a pre-emptive angioaccess. The secondary aim was to investigate what risk factors are associated with angioaccess failure and to assess their patency and complications in th...

Effect of online haemodialysis vascular access flow evaluation and pre-emptive intervention on the frequency of access thrombosis

Introduction. Guidelines advocate surveillance of vascular access to reduce incidences of thrombosis. However, the value of online vascular access flow monitoring is still under debate. Methods. Through a systematic literature search, the effect of online access flow surveillance combined with pre-emptive intervention on thrombosis frequency is reviewed. Results. Due to methodological differenc...

Arteriovenous Access Failure, Stenosis, and Thrombosis

Vascular access-related complications can lead to patient morbidity and reduced patient quality of life. Some of the common arteriovenous access complications include failure to mature, stenosis formation, and thrombosis.

Endovascular Stent Placement for Hemodialysis Arteriovenous Access Stenosis

This study aims to report the outcomes of nitinol and polytetrafluoroethylene covered stent placement to treat hemodialysis arteriovenous access stenosis at a single center over a five-year period. Clinical and radiological information was reviewed retrospectively. Poststent primary and secondary patency rates were determined using Kaplan-Meier analysis. Ten clinical variables were subjected to...
