Objective: To assess the outcomes of hemodialysis reliable outflow (HeRO) device in a subset access-challenged patients with central venous obstruction. Methods: Retrospective analysis series 2 centers who underwent placement HeRO between September 2009 and November 2010. Patients’ demographics, access history, patency, number reinterventions were analyzed. Results: Eleven 12 implantations. The average duration dialysis prior to was 5.55 ± 3.64 years. Primary secondary patencies at 6 months...
Objective: To assess the opinions of vascular surgery trainees on new Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) guidelines. Methods: A questionnaire was developed and electronically distributed to trainee members Society Vascular Surgery. Results: Of 238 eligible trainees, 38 (16%) participated. Respondents were predominantly 30 35 years age (47%), male (69%), in 2-year fellowship (73%), at large academic centers (61%). Trainees report occasionally working while fatigued...
The purpose of our study was to evaluate the rate ventral hernia repair (VHR) after open abdominal aortic anneurysm in New York State compared with VHR bypass procedures. Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System database queried for all aneurysm (AAA) procedures performed between 2000 2010. Social security death index used identify patients who died. cause-specific Cox proportional hazard model applied compare risk having follow-up AAA as a competing event. A multivariable explore...
To determine how frequent inflow stenosis is a contributing factor in the etiology of arteriovenous access-induced steal (AVAIS).A retrospective review hemodialysis patients who underwent interventions from October 1998 to December 2011 for AVAIS was conducted at Mount Sinai Hospital. Patients with grade 3 and complete arch upper extremity vascular imaging were included. Demographics, access history, time AVAIS, preoperative angiographic performed analyzed.A total 52 diagnosed (severe)...
A 26-year-old man presented with acute renal insufficiency, and severe lower extremity swelling. Computed tomographic scan revealed retroperitoneal lymphadenopathy encasing both ureters the inferior vena cava. He underwent placement of ureteral stents to relieve obstruction afterward lymph node biopsy, which Kaposi's sarcoma. subsequently was diagnosed acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. Abdominal venous duplex ultrasound did not show any evidence deep vein thrombosis. The cava measured 3.5...
Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty has been increasingly used for the treatment of lower limb peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, bail-out stenting may be necessary in cases suboptimal angioplasty. This study investigated outcomes femoropopliteal treated with DCB with/without stenting.This was a single-center retrospective enrolling 166 consecutive patients (DCB+stent: n=81 vs DCB: n=85) 253 lesions n=99 n=154) stenting. Bail-out performed at operator discretion postangioplasty...
A 68-year-old female with extensive medical and surgical history, including open endovascular procedures, presented chronic limb-threatening ischemia, hypertension, mesenteric ischemia. computed tomographic angiogram showed significant paravisceral aortic atherosclerosis involving the celiac, superior mesenteric, renal arteries. She underwent an descending aorta to artery, left common femoral artery bypass a "trifurcated" ringed polytetrafluoroethylene graft. Nine months after surgery, she...
Sheath placement in dialysis access interventions is traditionally necessary to obtain imaging, guide percutaneous angioplasty, and evaluate results. The aim of this study was assess the feasibility performing sheathless Arterio-venous (AV) using a novel angioplasty balloon catheter.Between May September 2017, data on all with dedicated injection port were collected. All procedures performed without sheath. Success established as no conversion sheath placement. Demographic data, location...
