Minimizing delays to hemodialysis access maturation: A quality improvement analysis
CONCLUSION: Preoperative vein mapping contributed up to 21% of referral to maturation times but was not associated with increased tunneled catheter duration. While tunneled catheter placement impacted access maturation it did not cause additional pre-operative delays. Earlier referrals for access creation and reduction of outpatient wait-time from referral to OR and increased AV graft placement may minimize catheter days in our system thereby mitigating the added delays caused by pre-operative vein mapping.PMID:38602233 | DOI:10.1177/11297298241244509 (Source: The Journal of Vascular Access)

Effect of early cannulation with metal needles on arteriovenous fistula patency in patients undergoing hemodialysis
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with an established fistula in urgent need of hemodialysis, to avoid new catheterization, a puncture can be performed within 30 days in those with well-developed blood vessels after adequate ultrasound and clinical evaluation without affecting the patency of the fistula.PMID:38600613 | DOI:10.1177/11297298241245742 (Source: The Journal of Vascular Access)

Zero upper arm hemodialysis fistulas: utopian or realistic goal?
CONCLUSIONS: The findings confirm the low prevalence of UAF found in our prior survey, demonstrating that UAFs can be reduced to 5% or less, as seen in Japanese experience.PMID:38581266 | DOI:10.1177/11297298241245062 (Source: The Journal of Vascular Access)

Challenges of PICC placement via the popliteal vein under ultrasound guidance in a patient with severe burns: A case report
J Vasc Access. 2024 Apr 6:11297298241245066. doi: 10.1177/11297298241245066. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPeripherally inserted central catheters are widely used in patients with extensive burns, with the guidelines recommending insertion through unburned skin. This case report describes a patient who was burned over 88% of their surface area and suffered severe inhalation injury. For him, the popliteal vein was the only vein on unburned skin available for catheter catheterization. Based on evidence, we successfully placed a peripherally inserted central catheter through the popliteal vein under ultrasound while the patie...
