Smooth 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 کاملIntimal 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 کاملCentral Transposition of the Cephalic Vein in Patients with Brachiocephalic Arteriovenous Fistula and Cephalic Arch Stenosis
PURPOSE Our study aims to evaluate to evaluate clinical outcomes after cephalic vein transposition (CVT) to the axilla in patients with brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (BC-AVF) and cephalic arch stenosis (CAS). MATERIALS AND METHODS Hospital records of 13 patients (median age, 61 years; males, 54%) who received CVT to the proximal basilic/axillary vein due to either dysfunction (n=2) or...
متن کامل"cephalic vein anatomy in antecubital fossa during the construction of arteriovenous fistula"
in order to create an effective arteriovenous fistula (avf) in patients with sustained chronic renal failure (crf), surgeons need to become familiar with various anatomical variations of venous structures in the operating field. because of variety and different types of cubital venous anatomies, there is more than a 90% possibility of creating suitable avfs in the cubital fossa , but in the wri...
