Open DOI
Comparison of arteriovenous fistula patency in lipoprotein apheresis and haemodialysis: A matched case-control study
Objective: Arteriovenous fistulas constitute an effective vascular access option for haemodialysis, demonstrating high patency rates and lower infection risk compared with synthetic accesses. Treatment algorithms and patient characterist...

Open DOI
Single-stage aneurysmorrhaphy, downstream venous plication and external PTFE reinforcement for multiple true aneurysms in a high-flow brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula: A case report
True aneurysms of a haemodialysis arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and a co-existent high-flow state pose a particular surgical problem, because the structural and the haemodynamic abnormality must be corrected at the same operation if a prec...

Open DOI
Implementation of a multi-disciplinary hemodialysis access clinic improves time to surgical evaluation and access case volume
Background: Delays in hemodialysis access creation contribute to prolonged tunneled dialysis catheter dependence and morbidity. In March 2025, our institution implemented a multidisciplinary accelerated hemodialysis access clinic with we...

Open DOI
Comparison of different interventions for promoting the maturation of autogenous arteriovenous fistula: A systematic review and Bayesian network meta-analysis
Objective: Autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred access for patients undergoing hemodialysis. This study sought to identify the optimal intervention for promoting the maturation of AVFs through a network meta-analysis (...

From accuracy to applicability: A consensus-aligned narrative review on bedside ECG- and ultrasound-based PICC tip positioning
Peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) tip positioning is a technically mature field characterized by heterogeneous evidence. International consensus guidelines consistently recommend bedside intracavitary electrocardiography (IC-...

Open DOI
Evaluation of a porcine tissue-based simulator for teaching ultrasound-guided PICC placement
Background: Ultrasound-guided peripherally inserted central catheter (PICC) placement requires stable probe handling and continuous needle-tip tracking, yet novice nurses have limited opportunities for repeated clinical practice. Objecti...

Open DOI
Explantation rates and failure mechanisms in early cannulation grafts: A comparative study between Flixene and Gore Acuseal
Background: Early cannulation arteriovenous grafts (ecAVGs) are increasingly used to reduce catheter dependence in hemodialysis patients, but device-specific complications remain a concern. This study aimed to compare explantation rates,...

Open DOI
Targeted intraluminal heparinization with flushing in arteriovenous fistula surgery: A practical approach
Background: Early thrombosis is the most common cause of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) failure within the first month after AVF creation. The necessity of heparin use to prevent early thrombosis in AVF surgery is still debated. This study ...

Open DOI
Intravascular “fenestration” and “triangular anchoring” techniques: A case of uncaptured central venous retrograde stent placement and a literature review
Central venous stent migration is a rare complication in hemodialysis patients. While antegrade migration toward the heart or pulmonary arteries has been documented, the mechanism and management of retrograde migration toward the distal ...

Hemodialysis vascular access flow measurements by AFM ® and Transonic ® devices: A bicentric comparative study
Objective: Clinical monitoring remains central to vascular access care, while surveillance of vascular access blood flow (Qa) provides information for detecting dysfunction. Ultrasound dilution (UD), such as Transonic ® , is widely used ...
