The primary study objective is to evaluate the benefit of the Sirolimus eluting Collagen implant (SeCI; Sirogen), a single dose prophylactic treatment delivered intraoperatively at the time of surgical creation of an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis vascular access.
This is a single-center, prospective, single-arm clinical study to evaluate the feasibility, safety, and performance of VenoStent's SelfWrap® Bioabsorbable Perivascular Wrap on arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). All participants are chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients already receiving hemodialysis treatments that are referred for creation of a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF).
The cannulation of arteriovenous fistula is a painful procedure in hemodialysis patients. Previous studies have shown the effectiveness of virtual reality in reducing pain during needle-related procedures
In this case, we report a case of atresia syndrome (LIS), a serious neurological disease caused by pulmonary arteriovenous fistula (PAVM). We present a previously healthy middle-aged woman who developed atresia syndrome after severe pontine infarction due to basilar artery occlusion due to undiagnosed arteriovenous malformation. This report reviewed the medical history, post-admission examination and related literature, and concluded that PAVM should be considered as the cause of implicit stroke, especially in young patients with right-to-left shunt, and should be actively treated.
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty has been shown to be superior to POBA in the treatment of stenosis in AVF. This is because the very intervention used to treat underlying stenosis by POBA can induce vascular injury and accelerate intimal hyperplasia, resulting in rapid restenosis and need for repeated procedure to maintain vessel patency. The anti-proliferative drug that is coated on the surface of balloon is released to the vessel wall during balloon angioplasty and blunt the acceleration of intimal hyperplasia response, resulting in improved primary patency after angioplasty. Additionally, unlike stents, DCB does not leave a permanent structure that may impede future surgical revision. Recent randomized control trials (RCT) have shown the superiority of paclitaxel durg-coated balloon (PDCB) over POBA in the treatment of stenosis in AVFs. In a large multicenter RCT, PDCB was demonstrated to result in a 6-month target lesion primary patency of 82.2% compared to 59.5% for POBA. However, concerns had also arisen recently in the use of PDCB. In large lower limb studies involving the use of paclitaxel devices, meta-analysis by Katsanos et al had revealed increased late risk mortality in patient that are treated with PDCB or paclitaxel-coated stent. Sirolimus drug-coated balloon (SDCB) is the new generation of drug eluting balloons that are available in the market. Compared to paclitaxel, sirolimus is cytostatic in its mode of action with a high margin of safety. It has a high transfer rate to the vessel wall and effectively inhibit neointimal hyperplasia in the porcine coronary model. The effectiveness of SDCB in patients with dialysis access dysfunction has been shown in a small pilot study in AVF stenosis and AVG thrombosis. SAVE AVF registry ams to assess the efficacy and safety of SDCB vs PDCB angioplasty.
This research was conducted as a randomized controlled experimental study aiming to determine the impact of virtual reality glasses used in the AVF process on the pain felt by patients and patient satisfaction.
The purpose of the proposed study is to investigate the usefulness of laser speckle contrast imaging (LSCI) compared to indocyanine green angiography (ICGA). We will collect data from a wide variety of neurovascular surgical procedures to determine when the technology is the most clinically useful. The intraoperative LSCI system provides high resolution images of blood flow in real-time without tissue contact and without the need for an exogenous contrast agent. Further study is needed to gain a better understanding of the use of the technique during surgery, but initial results suggest that the ability to identify blood flow changes with immediate feedback to the surgeon could be a significant advantage during many procedures.
Currently, the technique of arteriovenous fistula puncture is transmitted by companionship within hemodialysis units. Although the main principles of the technique are well known and common to all hemodialysis units, strong rationales are still lacking to standardize fine practices such as the relative position of the needles, the angle of attack of the needle at puncture, the position of the bevel at the time of puncture and once the needle is in the vascular lumen. The training of professionals using a simulation-based training program on the approach to arteriovenous fistula puncture, in a process of optimizing practices and continuous improvement of care, while respecting the principles of andragogy, seems to be a suitable tool. This program is built in a multi-professional team from nephrology, nursing and health simulation.
This is a monocentric randomized prospective trial comparing 2 different endovascular strategies of intracranial arterial angioplasty in case of refractory intracranial arterial vasospastic stenosis : - chemical angioplasty - chemical and mechanical angioplasty
