Variation in smoking cessation after vascular operations
Objective: Smoking is the most important modifiable risk factor for patients with vascular disease. The purpose of this study was to examine smoking cessation rates after vascular procedures and delineate factors predictive of postoperative smoking cessation.Methods: The Vascular Study Group of New England registry was used to analyze smoking status preoperatively and at 1 year after carotid endarterectomy, carotid artery stenting, lower extremity bypass, and open and endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair between 2003 and 2009. Of 10,734 surviving patients after one of these procedures, 1755 (16%) were lost to fol...

Prevalence of Vertebral Fractures, Vascular Calcifications, and Mortality in Warfarin Treated Hemodialysis Patients.
Abstract Warfarin inhibits vitamin-K dependent proteins involved in bone mineralization and the prevention of vascular calcification (bone Gla protein BGP, matrix Gla protein MGP). In this multicenter, cross-sectional study with 3-year follow-up, data from 387 patients on hemodialysis for ≥1 year at 18 dialysis units were analyzed. Patients on warfarin treatment for > 1 year (11.9% of the population) were compared with the remaining cohort for vertebral fractures, vascular calcifications and mortality. Vertebral fractures and vascular calcifications were sought in L-L vertebral X-rays (D4 to L5). Compared wit...

Treatment outcomes and lessons learned from 5134 cases of outpatient office-based endovascular procedures in a vascular surgical practice.
CONCLUSIONS: Endovascular procedure can be performed safely in an office-based facility with excellent outcomes. Lessons learned in establishing office-based endovascular suites with efforts to reduce procedural complications and optimize quality patient care are discussed.

The Inside-Out Technique: A Vascular Surgeon's Guide to Complex Catheter Placement
Patients with multiple failed dialysis accesses and limited access sites can present a significant challenge to vascular surgeons. The presence of central venous occlusion and the need for temporary or permanent dialysis catheter placement are especially problematic. Previous reports have described an “inside-out” technique that avoids the need for subclavian or femoral catheter placement by placing a supraclavicular catheter through a percutaneous femoral vein. However, very few reports of its use in vascular surgery exist.

Outcomes of Hemodialysis Vascular Access in Patients Initiating Dialysis With a Tunneled Catheter
The objective of this study was to determine factors that influence time to removal of tunneled hemodialysis catheter (THC), probability of repeated vascular access creation, and time to repeated vascular access.

The End Stage of Dialysis Access: Femoral Graft or HeRO Vascular Access Device
Maintaining and establishing vascular access in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients is complicated when they are poor candidates for traditional upper extremity access. Our objective was to compare our experience with 2 alternative dialysis accesses, the femoral arteriovenous graft (fAVG) and the Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow (HeRO), in patients with limited remaining options.

Life-saving vascular access in vascular capital exhaustion: single center experience in intra-atrial catheters for hemodialysis.
CONCLUSION: Placing an IAC to perform HD is associated to significant risks and high mortality. However, when alternative RRT are exhausted, or as a bridge to others modalities, this option should be considered. PMID: 28355409 [PubMed - in process]

The influence of diabetes mellitus on patency of arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis
ConclusionsThis study concluded that diabetic patients had shorter mean duration of AVF patency and lower rate of access survival to 24 months.

Translumbar hemodialysis long-term catheters: an alternative for vascular access failure.
CONCLUSION: TLDC is an option for patients with VA failure, improving survival and acting as a bridge for renal transplantation. PMID: 30281060 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

A pilot study comparing bovine mesenteric artery and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene grafts as non-autogenous hemodialysis options
Conclusions The L-Hydro graft appears to be a valuable alternative option for AVFs, since it seems to require fewer interventions to maintain patency when compared to ePTFE grafts.

AGEs accumulation is related to muscle degeneration and vascular calcification in peritoneal dialysis patients
CONCLUSIONS: The study revealed associations between AGEs accumulation and lower muscle stiffness/density. Associations that linked muscle degeneration parameters with vascular calcification were observed.PMID:33650629 | DOI:10.1590/2175-8239-JBN-2020-0119

Transposition of cephalic vein to rescue hemodialysis access arteriovenous fistula and treat symptomatic central venous obstruction
We report an atypical case of treatment of a dialysis patient with multiple comorbidities, severe swelling and pain in the right upper limb (RUL), few alternative sites for hemodialysis vascular access, a functioning brachiobasilic fistula in the RUL and severe venous hypertension in the same limb, secondary to central vein occlusion of the internal jugular vein and right brachiocephalic trunk. The alternative surgical treatment chosen was to transpose the RUL cephalic vein, forming a venous necklace at the anterior cervical region, bypassing the site of venous occlusion. In order to achieve this, we dissected the cephalic...

Global hemodialysis vascular access care: Three decades of evolution
J Vasc Access. 2023 Apr 26:11297298231159251. doi: 10.1177/11297298231159251. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe development of vascular access for hemodialysis has come a long way since 1943 when the first hemodialysis treatment was performed in humans by connecting an artery and vein using an external glass canula. Since then, vascular access care has evolved robustly through contributions from numerous countries and professional nephrology societies, worldwide. To understand the global distribution and contribution of different specialties to medical literature on dialysis vascular access care, we performed a literature ...
