Vascular access for hemodialysis remains a challenge for nephrologists, vascular surgeons, and interventional radiologists alike. Arteriovenous fistula and synthetic grafts remain the access of choice for long-term hemodialysis; however, they are subject to complications from infection and repeated needle cannulation. Pseudoaneurysms are an increasingly recognized adverse event. At present, the...

PURPOSE To present our experience using the Amplatzer vascular plug in various arterial and venous systems, and follow-up results. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between May 2005 and October 2006, 20 Amplatzer vascular plugs were used to achieve occlusion in 20 vessels in 12 patients (10 male, 2 female) aged between 24 and 80 years (mean age, 55 years). Localization and indications for embolotherapy w...

INTRODUCTION For patients with infra-inguinal autologous vein bypass graft occlusion, conventional open surgical repair or endovascular treatment (EVT) for native vessel occlusion have generally been performed. REPORT A 73 year old female with non-healing ulcer and gangrene of the left lower leg was diagnosed as having infra-inguinal autologous saphenous vein graft occlusion. In this case, su...

BACKGROUND Vascular occlusion is a rare, but serious complication after kidney transplantation often resulting in graft loss. We therefore aimed to develop an experimental porcine model for stepwise reduction of the renal venous blood flow and to compare an implantable Doppler probe and microdialysis for fast detection of vascular occlusion. METHODS In 20 pigs, implantable Doppler probes were...

The creation of small-diameter tissue-engineered vascular grafts using biodegradable materials has the potential to change quality cardiovascular surgery in future. implantation these arterial yet reach clinical application. One reasons for this is thrombus occlusion graft acute phase. In paper, we first describe causes accelerated formation and discuss drugs that are thought inhibit formation....

There may be many reasons for the malfunctioning of transplanted organs. Percutaneous biopsy can easily be undertaken to give greater specificity to possible immunological causes of rejection. Acute venous or arterial thrombosis frequently leads to graft loss after a short period of anuria which justifies a diagnosis of vascular occlusion. This causes graft dysfunction or loss in 3.5% to 12.5% ...

Purpose: The present study was conducted to investigate the effect of 8 weeks resistance training with and without vascular occlusion on physical fitness indexes, growth hormone, and Insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) in male judokas.  Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 20 male judokas were divided into two groups: 1. Traditional resistance training along with judo training with...

Left internal mammary artery (LIMA) is the most commonly used graft during coronary bypass surgery. LIMA side branches are clipped during surgery in order to prevent coronary steal. In cases of patent LIMA side branches, there are differingapproaches. Herein, we report a case with patent thoracic side branch of LIMA graft, occlusion of this side branch by Amplatzer Vascular Plug because of docu...

Abstract Patients with severe arterial obstructive disease and critical limb ischemia associated vascular graft infection have elevated morbidity mortality rates are at high risk of loss. We present the case a 76-year-old male patient left lower femoropopliteal infection. used hybrid treatment approach an open surgical to inguinal popliteal regions prosthesis as endovascular access for direct r...
