Venous Mechanical Properties After Arteriovenous Fistulae in Mice.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) exposes the outflow vein to arterial magnitudes and frequencies of blood pressure and flow, triggering molecular pathways that result in venous remodeling and AVF maturation. It is unknown, however, how venous remodeling, that is lumen dilation and wall thickening, affects venous mechanical properties. We hypothesized that a fistula is more compliant compared with a vein because of altered contributions of collagen and elastin to the mechanical properties. METHODS:Ephb4+/- and littermate wild-type (WT) male mice were treated with sham surgery or needle puncture to create an abdominal aortocaval fistulae. The thoracic inferior vena cava was harvested 3 wk postoperatively for mechanical testing and histological analyses of collagen and elastin. RESULTS:Mechanical testing of the thoracic inferior vena cava from Ephb4+/- and WT mice showed increased distensibility and increased compliance of downstream veins after AVF compared with sham. Although Ephb4+/- veins were thicker than WT veins at the baseline, after AVF, both Ephb4+/- and WT veins showed similar wall thickness as well as similar collagen and elastin area fractions, but increased collagen undulation compared with sham. CONCLUSIONS:Fistula-induced remodeling of the outflow vein results in circumferentially increased distensibility and compliance, likely due to post-translational modifications to collagen.

Coronary arteriovenous fistulae: the complexity of coronary artery-to-coronary sinus connections.

Project description:Coronary artery fistulae are a rare cardiovascular anomaly. Even less common are multiple fistulae involving more than 1 coronary artery. Herein we report the case of a 47-year-old woman who had fistulae from both the right coronary and left circumflex coronary arteries draining into the coronary sinus. These lesions we attempted to close percutaneously but subsequently closed surgically. We discuss diagnostic imaging approaches, along with closure indications, closure options, and outcomes.

Origin of neointimal cells in arteriovenous fistulae: bone marrow, artery, or the vein itself?

Project description:To elucidate the source of neointimal cells, experimental fistulas were created in Lewis wild-type (WT) and transgenic rats that constitutively expressed the green fluorescent protein (GFP) in all tissues. Arteriovenous fistula (AVFs) were created by anastomosing the left renal vein to the abdominal aorta. The contribution of bone marrow (BM)-derived cells to the AVF neointima was examined in lethally irradiated WT rats that had been rescued with GFP BM cells. Neointimal cells in these chimeric rats were mostly GFP negative indicating the non-BM origin of those cells. Then, the contribution of arterial cells to the AVF neointima was assessed in a fistula made with a GFP aorta that had been implanted orthotopically into a WT rat. Most of the neointimal cells were also GFP negative demonstrating that AVF neointimal cells are not derived from the feeding artery. Finally to study local resident cells contribution to the formation of neointimal lesions, a composite fistula was created by interposing a GFP vein between the renal vein and the aorta in a WT recipient rat. GFP neointimal cells were only found in the transplanted vein. This study suggests that neointimal cells originate from the local resident cells in the venous limb of the fistula.

Outcome after intracranial haemorrhage from dural arteriovenous fistulae; a systematic review and case-series.

Project description:Dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVFs) are a rare cause of intracranial haemorrhage. We aimed to investigate outcome of patients with intracranial haemorrhage from a DAVF. We performed a systematic literature search for studies reporting outcome after intracranial haemorrhage caused by a DAVF. We used predefined selection criteria and assessed the quality of the studies. In addition, we studied outcome in all patients with DAVF who had presented with intracranial haemorrhage at two university centers in the Netherlands, between January 2007 and April 2012. We calculated case fatality and proportions of patients with poor outcome (defined as modified Rankin Scale ? 3 or Glasgow Outcome Scale ? 3) during follow-up. We investigated mean age, sex, mid-year of study and percentage of patients with parenchymal haemorrhage as determinants of case fatality and poor outcome. The literature search yielded 16 studies, all but two retrospective and all hospital-based. Combined with our cohort of 29 patients the total number of patients with DAVF-related intracranial haemorrhage was 326 (58% intracerebral haemorrhage). At a median follow-up of 12 months case fatality was 4.7% (95% CI 2.5-7.5; 17 cohorts) and the proportion of patients with poor outcome 8.3% (95% CI 3.1-15.7; nine cohorts). We found no effect of mean age, sex, mid-year of the cohorts and percentage of patients with parenchymal haemorrhage on either outcome. Hospital based case-series suggest a relatively low risk of death and poor outcome in patients with intracranial haemorrhage due to rupture of a DAVF. These risks may be underestimated because of bias.

Transcatheter coil embolization for large pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae through an artificial tricuspid ball valve.

Project description:Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae (PAFs) occur congenitally or are acquired. A PAF can cause hypoxemia, sudden death from rupture, abscess formation, and embolism. Treatment for PAF is transcatheter embolization or surgery. Transcatheter embolization is the first choice of treatment; however, this treatment is impossible to perform if a patient has had tricuspid or pulmonary valve replacement. In this paper, we describe a case of PAFs complicated with tricuspid valve replacement with a ball valve (which had been performed 40 years earlier) that was treated with transcatheter embolization. <Learning objective: Although the ball valve was discontinued more than 40 years ago, it is still the only mechanical valve that allows catheter passage. We report a case of successful treatment of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula by passing a catheter through a ball valve.>.

Endovascular creation of hemodialysis arteriovenous fistulae: the current status and future perspective-a literature review.

Project description:Background and objectiveEnd-stage renal disease (ESRD) is increasingly prevalent among Americans. Traditionally, the gold standard of dialysis fistulae creation is surgical arteriovenous fistulae (AVF), which is preferred over central venous catheter (CVC) and arteriovenous graft (AVG). However, it is associated with many challenges, particularly its high primary failure rate, which is partially attributed to neointimal hyperplasia. Endovascular creation of arteriovenous fistulae (endoAVF) is a recently emerging method, and is thought to circumvent many of the surgical challenges. It is theorized to reduce the peri-operative trauma to the vessel, thus reducing the amount of neointimal hyperplasia. In this article, we aim to review the current status and future perspectives of endoAVF.MethodsAn electronic search was performed on MEDLINE and Embase to identify relevant articles from 2015 to 2021.Key content and findingsThe initial trial data has been promising, resulting in the increased adoption of endoAVF devices in clinical practice. Further, short- and mid-term data has shown that endoAVF has been associated with good maturation rate, re-intervention rate, primary and secondary patency rates. In comparison to historical surgical data, endoAVF has been shown to be comparable in certain aspects. Lastly, endoAVF has been used in an increasing range of clinical applications, including wrist AVF and two-stage transposition procedure.ConclusionsAlthough current data has been promising, endoAVF is associated with a host of unique challenges, and the current data has mostly been derived from selective patient population. Further studies are required to further assess its usefulness and its role in the dialysis care algorithm.
