Project description:Introduction:New treatments to inhibit neointimal formation after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) are needed for patients undergoing chronic hemodialysis (HD). We compared the efficacy and safety of AMG0102, a balloon catheter containing nuclear factor ?B (NF-?B) decoy oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) with the PTA balloon catheter (control group) for arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis. Methods:In total, 175 patients (age ?20 years, undergoing HD, with venous stenosis at the anastomotic region) were registered in this prospective open-label, randomized study. Patients were followed postoperatively for 36 weeks. The duration of primary patency on the targeted venous stenosis site (primary endpoint) was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Results:A lower restenosis risk was observed for the AMG0102 group, but it was not statistically significant (stratified log-rank test P = 0.250, hazard ratio [HR] 0.774; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.500-1.198). The median duration of primary patency was 245 days and 172 days in the AMG0102 and control groups, respectively. After stratification based on the status of diabetes complications, the HR was 0.666 (95% CI: 0.366-1.212; P = 0.183) and the median duration of primary patency was prolonged by 108 days in the AMG0102 group with diabetes complications (245 days) compared with the control group (137 days). Adverse event (AE) incidence up to 36 postoperative weeks did not differ between groups. Four device failures occurred in 3 patients (AMG0102 group), but none resulted in AEs. Conclusion:Further modifications to enhance NF-?B decoy ODN uptake and efficacy are necessary to show its clinical utility for AVF stenosis in chronic HD.

Project description:Current guidelines suggest that arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is associated with survival advantage over arteriovenous graft (AVG). However, AVFs often require months to become functional, increasing tunneled dialysis catheter (TDC) use, which can erode the benefit of an AVF. We sought to compare survival in patients with end-stage renal disease after creation of an AVF or AVG in patients starting hemodialysis (HD) with a TDC and to identify patient populations that may benefit from preferential use of AVG over AVF.Using U.S. Renal Data System databases, we identified incident HD patients in 2005 through 2008 and observed them through 2008. Initial access type and clinical variables including albumin levels were assessed using U.S. Renal Data System data collection forms. Attempts at AVF and AVG creation in patients who started HD through a TDC were identified by Current Procedural Terminology codes. We accounted for the effect of changes in access type by truncating follow-up when an additional AVF or AVG was performed. Survival curves were then constructed, and log-rank tests were used for pairwise survival comparisons, stratified by age. Multivariate analysis was performed with Cox proportional hazards regressions; variables were chosen using stepwise elimination. An interaction of access type and albumin level was detected, and Cox models using differing thresholds for albumin level were constructed. The primary outcome was survival.Among the 138,245 patients who started with a TDC and had complete records amenable for analysis, 22.8% underwent AVF creation (mean age ± standard deviation, 68.9 ± 12.5 years; 27.8% mortality at 1 year) and 7.6% underwent AVG placement (70.2 ± 12.0 years; 28.2% mortality) within 3 months of HD initiation; 69.6% remained with a TDC (63.2 ± 15.4 years; 33.8% mortality). In adjusted Cox proportional hazards regression, AVF creation is equivalent to AVG placement in terms of survival (hazard ratio [HR], 0.98; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.93-1.02; P = .349). AVG placement is superior to continued TDC use (HR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.48-1.61; P < .001). In patients older than 80 years with albumin levels >4.0 g/dL, AVF creation is associated with higher mortality hazard compared with AVG creation (HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.04-1.43; P = .013).For patients who start HD through a TDC, placement of an AVF and AVG is associated with similar mortality hazard. Further study is necessary to determine the ideal access for patients in whom the survival advantage of an AVF over an AVG is uncertain.

Project description:A 40-year-old man presented with years of progressive leg swelling and venous varicosities. Lower limb computed tomography angiography and subsequent digital subtraction angiography demonstrated a large popliteal arteriovenous fistula (AVF). This was treated successfully by endovascular technique with a Viabahn stent (W. L. Gore & Associates, Flagstaff, Ariz) in the popliteal artery to exclude the AVF. AVFs of this size and chronicity are rare, and this case demonstrates a successful endovascular method of treatment.

Project description:Severe vascular complications associated with pacemaker implantation are rare. Typically, they are overt, and require immediate resolution. We present 2 patients with insidious presentation of arteriovenous fistulae due to pacemaker implantation that were recognized early post-implantation. Both were repaired endovascularly and had good outcomes post-repair. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Project description:BACKGROUND:Restenosis remains a significant problem in endovascular therapy for hemodialysis vascular access. Drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty decreases restenosis in peripheral and coronary artery diseases. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to assess the patency outcomes following DCB angioplasty, as compared to conventional balloon (CB) angioplasty for the stenosis of hemodialysis vascular access. METHODS:A comprehensive search in the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CENTRAL databases was conducted in order to identify eligible randomized controlled trials evaluating DCB angioplasty for hemodialysis vascular access dysfunction. The primary endpoint was the 6-month target lesion primary patency and the secondary endpoints were 12-month target lesion primary patency and procedure-related complications. Risk ratios (RR) were pooled and relevant subgroups were analyzed separately. RESULTS:Eleven randomized controlled trials comprised of 487 patients treated with DCB angioplasty and 489 patients treated with CB angioplasty were included. There were no significant differences in the target lesion primary patency at 6 months [RR, 0.75; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.56, 1.01; p = 0.06] and at 12 months (RR 0.89; 95% CI, 0.79, 1.00; p = 0.06). The absence of benefit for the DCB group remained, even in the arteriovenous fistula subgroup or the subgroup of studies excluding central vein stenosis. The risk of procedure-related complication did not differ between the two groups (RR 1.00; 95% CI 0.98, 1.02; p = 0.95). CONCLUSION:DCB angioplasty did not demonstrate significant patency benefit for the treatment of hemodialysis vascular access dysfunction. Wide variations in patency outcomes across studies were noted. Further studies focusing on specific types of access or lesions are warranted to clarify the value of DCB for hemodialysis vascular access. (PROSPERO Number CRD42019119938).

Project description:Iatrogenic complications may manifest in a variety of ways. We present the case of an 86-year-old woman who underwent a percutaneous coronary intervention with a drug-eluting stent for non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction followed by leadless pacemaker placement through a femoral approach. Her post-procedure course was complicated by new onset high-output heart failure secondary to iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula formation, requiring covered stent placement. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Project description:Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula is a unique complication during pacemaker implantation. A 55-year-old man was posted for pacemaker implantation for recurrent unexplained syncope with trifascicular AV block. After axillary/subclavian venous puncture and introduction of RV lead, arterial spurting was immediately noticed as the the sheath was peeled away. After dissecting the overlying pectoralis muscle, deep sutures and manual compression achieved hemostasis. However, Subclavian arteriogram revealed an arteriovenous fistula from a lateral thoracic artery branch to the innominate vein. Hilal coils were deployed near the fistulous orifice, leading to complete resolution of the leak. After 3 days, pacemaker was implanted from right side. A multidisciplinary approach was the key to successful outcome.

Project description:Hemodialysis patient survival is dependent on the availability of a reliable vascular access. In clinical practice, procedures for vascular access cannulation vary from clinic to clinic. We investigated the impact of cannulation technique on arteriovenous fistula and graft survival. Based on an April 2009 cross-sectional survey of vascular access cannulation practices in 171 dialysis units, a cohort of patients with corresponding vascular access survival information was selected for follow-up ending March 2012. Of the 10,807 patients enrolled in the original survey, access survival data were available for 7058 patients from nine countries. Of these, 90.6% had an arteriovenous fistula and 9.4% arteriovenous graft. Access needling was by area technique for 65.8%, rope-ladder for 28.2%, and buttonhole for 6%. The most common direction of puncture was antegrade with bevel up (43.1%). A Cox regression model was applied, adjusted for within-country effects, and defining as events the need for creation of a new vascular access. Area cannulation was associated with a significantly higher risk of access failure than rope-ladder or buttonhole. Retrograde direction of the arterial needle with bevel down was also associated with an increased failure risk. Patient application of pressure during cannulation appeared more favorable for vascular access longevity than not applying pressure or using a tourniquet. The higher risk of failure associated with venous pressures under 100 or over 150 mm Hg should open a discussion on limits currently considered acceptable.
