Clopidogrel diminishes hemodialysis access graft thrombosis.
BACKGROUND The most common complication of hemodialysis (HD) access graft is thrombosis. Clopidogrel, an inhibitor of platelet aggregation, was assessed to prevent this serious complication. METHODS A prospective study in which 24 patients on chronic HD whose vascular accesses were grafts were divided into two groups: group A (n = 12, 50%) consisted of patients who did not receive antithrombo...
متن کاملMidterm results of endovascular stent graft treatment for descending aortic aneurysms including high-risk patients
METHODS 21 patients (17 men, 4 women; mean age 66.1 years, range 29-90 years) with 15 true aneurysms, and 6 type B-dissections were treated by implantation of a Talent Endoluminal Stentgraft System from February 2000 to July 2003. In 3 cases it was necessary to overstent the left subclavian artery, in 1 case to overstent the left common carotid. RESULTS 2 patients (9.5%) died during the first...
متن کاملEndovascular 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...
متن کاملStent graft versus balloon angioplasty for failing dialysis access grafts: a long-awaited advance in the treatment of permanent hemodialysis access.
Arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) for hemodialysis have a high failure rate, often due to the development of stenosis at the graft-to-vein anastomosis. Angioplasty (PTA) has been used for over two decades to treat AVG stenosis, with good technical success but limited AVG patency. Results of a prospective multi-center randomized trial, comparing stent graft to PTA in AVGs, has demonstrated superior ac...
متن کاملA multilayered electrospun graft as vascular access for hemodialysis
Despite medical achievements, the number of patients with end-stage kidney disease keeps steadily raising, thereby entailing a high number of surgical and interventional procedures to establish and maintain arteriovenous vascular access for hemodialysis. Due to vascular disease, aneurysms or infection, the preferred access-an autogenous arteriovenous fistula-is not always available and appropri...
