introduction: arteriovenous fistulas (avf) make chronic hemodialysis easy, but the complications are unpredictable. ischemic neuropathy due to arterial insufficiency is one of the most important complications of avf. this study was designed to evaluate ischemic neuropathy using electro diagnostic method in the extremity carrying fistula. methods: in this cross-sectional study, 37 hemodialysis p...

The relevance of assessing the lesion visual analyzer with optic disc drusen and possibility identifying concomitant pathologies, increases introduction latest diagnostic techniques.In S. Fyodorov Eye Microsurgery Federal State Institution, Moscow, a patient, 50 years old, complaining episodic blurred vision. diagnosis revealed nerve head congenital neurological pathology. patient was consulted...

INTRODUCTION. Arteriovenous fistulas and grafts are two common permanent access methods for hemodialysis. Selection of an appropriate access, appropriate surgical techniques, and treatment of complications are basic principles of long-term maintenance of vascular access. We aimed to assess the survival of arteriovenous fistulas and grafts in our dialysis center. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total o...

PURPOSE Status epilepticus was rarely reported as the initial manifestation of intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas. Successful treatment with endovascular intervention has not been reported in the literature. CASE REPORT We report three cases of dural arteriovenous fistulas initially presenting with various types of status epilepticus, including generalized tonic-clonic status epileptic...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula is a vascular condition that may result from coronary angiography. Many case reports have described arteriovenous fistula occurrence after coronary angiography using the transfemoral access route, but rarely as a complication of using the transradial approach. We report a rare case of a patient with arteriovenous fistula following tran...

Surgically-created blood conduits used for chronic hemodialysis, including native arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and synthetic AV grafts (AVGs), are the lifeline for kidney failure patients. Unfortunately, each has its own limitations: AVFs often fail to mature to become useful for dialysis and AVGs often fail due to stenosis as a result of neointimal hyperplasia, which preferentially forms at t...

background and objectives: arteriovenous fistula is a popular vascular access method for surgical treatmentof hemodialysis patients. the method, however, is associated with a high rate of early failure varying in the range of 20-60%. predicting early arteriovenous fistula failure and its risk factors can help reduce its incidence, its hospitalization rate, and associated costs. in this study, w...

Definitive clinical diagnosis of congenital pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is extremely difficult. In order to evaluate the diagnostic value of echocardiography, 2 cases with suspected pulmonary arteriovenous fistula were studied. In the first case, there was a solitary pulmonary arteriovenous fistula, while in the second multiple minute pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas were illustrated. The s...

Two patients, who were on hemodialysis over a femoral arteriovenous fistula, were transplanted in our center. Despite adequate blood pressure, perfusion of the renal allograft remained poor after completion of the vascular anastomoses. Ligation of the femoral arteriovenous fistula (1.6 L/min) led to adequate perfusion. Initial graft function was good. Although it remains unclear whether ischemi...

PURPOSE To verify the permanence of total occlusion of cerebral arteriovenous malformations after embolization with N-butyl cyano-acrylate and to evaluate the occlusion rate. METHODS One hundred thirty-four patients were treated for cerebral arteriovenous malformations with N-butyl cyano-acrylate embolization after superselective catheterization. Those initially totally occluded have been fol...
