Traditional contrast-enhanced methods for scanning blood vessels using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT carry potential risks patients with advanced kidney disease. Ferumoxytol is a superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle preparation that has as an MRI contrast agent in assessing the vasculature.Twenty disease requiring aorto-iliac vascular part of pre-operative transplant candidacy assessment underwent ferumoxytol-enhanced angiography (FeMRA) between December 2015 and August 2016....
Ferumoxytol is an alternative to gadolinium-based compounds as a vascular contrast agent for magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), particularly patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, dose-related efficacy data are lacking. We aimed determine the optimal (minimum effective) dose of ferumoxytol MRA in CKD. Ferumoxytol-enhanced (FeMRA) was performed at 3.0 T CKD after increments up total 4 mg/kg. Image quality assessed by contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and signal-to-noise (SNR)...
Abstract Purpose Endovascular aortic repair (EAR) interventions, endovascular abdominal (EVAR) and thoracic (TEVAR), are associated with significant radiation exposures. We aimed to investigate the doses from real-world practice propose diagnostic reference level (DRL) for UK. Materials Methods Radiation data essential demographics were retrospectively collected 24 vascular interventional radiology centres in UK all patients undergoing EAR—standard EVAR or complex, branched/fenestrated...
Abstract A 65-year-old man developed acute arterial thrombosis with stent graft occlusion, during elective endovascular aneurysm repair, bilateral lower limb ischaemia. We describe successful and pharmacological management using a combination of mechanical disruption the thrombus (using access sheaths) followed by intra-arterial thrombolysis (Actilyse) infusion. Within 4-h endograft had completely re-canalized. The patient made an uncomplicated recovery was discharged on second post-operative day.
Purpose:We aimed to describe our technique for and experience with elective endovascular aneurysm repair using EndoAnchors under local anesthesia. Materials Methods:We included seven patients abdominal aortic aneurysms who underwent a standard regimen consisting of anesthesia, intravenous sedation, analgesia.The procedural follow-up details were retrospectively reviewed.Results: Six out infrarenal successfully treated primary anesthesia.One patient was converted general anesthesia due acute...
CONCLUSIONS: Pregnancy is a relevant source of HLA antibody sensitization, so that more multi than primiparous women showed antibodies during pregnancy.Class II important increase class I in women, especially the third trimester.This piece information to consider when assessing immunization status for kidney transplantation
Aortoiliac reconstruction using autologous deep femoral vein (neoaortic iliac system bypass [NAIS]) is a therapeutic option for management of prosthetic aortic graft infection. Complications after NAIS are complex and reported strategies few. Endovascular procedures offer minimally invasive alternative to high-risk, open surgery. We report case early anastomotic failure associated with pseudoaneurysm significant retroperitoneal hemorrhage, which was successfully treated by endovascular stent...
Abstract Introduction Custom made endografts represents a technological advance that has been widely adopted across vascular centres in the United Kingdom. The most recent National Vascular Registry report describes in-hospital mortality for complex as 2.3%. We have reviewed outcome associated with introduction of custom endograft program single Scottish Health Board. Methods Index cases were identified from prospective radiology database 2008 to 2021. collected patient demographics,...
