Filter by:Distal radial access (DRA) in the anatomical snuffbox (AS) is a relatively novel approach that can be considered an alternative to trans radial access (TRA) for coronary procedures. Several observational and randomized studies have established its feasibility and safety, with evidence of certain advantages over TRA, such as a reduction in hemostasis time, a lower incidence of complications at the puncture site, and a lower incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Notwithstanding that a recent randomized study reported a similar RAO rate between DRA and TRA, several meta-analyzes confirm the advantages of DRA, despite a consistently higher crossover rate. The objective of this observational study is to assess the performance of the procedure and to compare clinical characteristics in an all-comer population undergoing diagnostic or interventional coronary procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Determine the success rate of DRA and measure the incidence of RAO in an all-comer population undergoing coronary procedures. - Compare the clinical and anatomical characteristics of patients with DRA for coronary procedures and determine predictors of failure of access.
This is a prospective, randomized, multi-center clinical trial for chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients referred for creation of a new arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in order to assess the safety and effectiveness of SelfWrap, a bioabsorbable perivascular wrap.
The number of elderly hemodialysis patients is growing. Vascular access complications are a major determinant of the quality of life and health care costs for these vulnerable patients. The three different types of vascular access, i.e. autologous arteriovenous fistulas, arteriovenous grafts, and central venous catheters, have never been compared in randomized controlled trials. This project will deliver the much-needed evidence to determine the optimal strategy for vascular access creation in elderly hemodialysis patients in order to deliver better health care at lower costs.
The aim of this study is to describe vascular access complications which are used for therapeutic apheresis in Nephrology.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare a chlorhexidine impregnated dressing for peripheral intravenous catheters (PIVCs) to the standard dressing currently used in general medical and surgical inpatient wards. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Study Feasibility - Occurrence of infectious complications related to the PIVC Participants will be randomly allocated to receive either of the below dressings to cover and secure their PIVC: - The standard dressing used at their hospital, or - The intervention dressing which has Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) on it Researchers will compare standard and CHG dressings to see if the presence of CHG improves the occurrence of infectious complications related to the PIVC.
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.
The aim of this non-inferiority trial is to determine if the distal radial access (DRA) during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has an acceptable efficacy compared to the reference access through the conventional radial artery (TRA) with a lower rate of radial artery occlusion (RAO) in real life practice.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is one of the leading health problems imbibing a major portion of health budget worldwide. The global prevalence of CKD is estimated to be 13.4% with approximately 5 to 7 million people needing renal replacement therapy. There is lack of epidemiological surveys regarding CKD but it is estimated to be around 5% and nearly half of them are diabetic. In Pakistan most of the patients undergo hemodialysis as mode of renal replacement as renal transplant centers are few and over burdened. Therefore, a good vascular access for hemodialysis is vital for CKD patients. A functioning arterio-venous fistula (AVF) improves quality of life and morbidity. However, access failure remains a major problem in patients of CKD accounting for third most common cause of admission. There are various options for attaining vascular access but AVF remains the most reliable with less morbidity and better overall patency rate. However, the AVF has its own limitation and has overall patency rate of 50-70% at 1 year and 30-40% at 2 years. This outcome indicates that strategies to prevent occlusion by altering modifiable risk factors are suboptimal and warrant further research. Patients of CKD often have associated cardiovascular diseases as Ischemic heart disease, left ventricular failure and angina. They are often taking cardio-protective medicines as antiplatelets, angiotensin converting enzymes and calcium channel blockers. Intimal hyperplasia has been shown to be the most important cause of AVF failures.2 Angiotensin II promotes vascular smooth muscle proliferation through various growth factors. Various experimental models have clearly depicted that ACE inhibitors effectively stop smooth muscle growth and intimal hyperplasia in vessel walls. Literature review shows conflicting results in terms of AVF patency when ACE inhibitors are used in conjunction. A study by Jackson RS and colleagues showed that ACE inhibitor were associated with reduced hazard ratio [HR], 0.35; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.16-0.76; P = .008). Whereas, another study showed no role of ACE inhibitors in preventing graft failure. The possible explanation can be study designs as most studies were retrospective and effects of possible confounders. Moreover, there is lack of research in Pakistan to see the effects of pharmacological drugs on primary patency of AVF among CKD patients. The rationale of this study is to effectively establish the role of ACE inhibitors in achieving primary patency of AV fistulas while reducing the number of confounders. This will be the first randomized controlled trial conducted in Pakistan. The primary outcome is AVF patency at one year. Secondary outcomes will include graft complications and graft maturation time after surgery.
This study will compare the outcomes of tunneled femoral catheter and femoro-femoral arteriovenous graft as a bailout procedure for hemodialysis in chronic kidney disease patients with exhausted upper-extremity and chest-wall vascular accesses regarding survival rate, complications, and quality of life
Arterio-arterial vascular access, Arterio-venous synthetic access, Venous hypertension, Hemodialysis patients Purpose: To describe a technique used to treat a patient with Lt upper limb synthetic arterio-venous vascular access and venous hypertension of the same limb. Technique: the investigator expose the venous anastomosis of the graft by small longitudinal incision in the axilla and dissection of the axillary artery just parallel to the axillary vein , the investigator disconnect the graft from the axillary vein and do primary repair of the vein , then the investigator do end to side anastomosis of the graft to the axillary artery , after finishing this anastomosis the axillary artery ligated just below the anastomosis. Conclusion: the conversion of arterio-venous graft to arterio-arterial vascular access in precious access with venous hypertension lead to resolution of edema of venous hypertension and preservation of access for dialysis.
