Access flow after angioplasty predicts subsequent arteriovenous graft survival

Abstract

The effectiveness of angioplasty can be assessed by access blood flow (ABF) measurements after the procedure; however, ABF after angioplasty is highly variable. The purpose of this study was to determine if the level of ABF achieved after angioplasty of arteriovenous (AV) grafts was predictive of subsequent graft outcomes. Retrospective review was performed of 51 shunt images in 31 patients who were receiving dialysis via functioning AV grafts. Patients were referred for shunt imaging because of low ABF rates, increased venous pressure, or clinical indications. Only those patients with ABF measurements performed less than 1 month after angioplasty were included. Patients were then followed for at least 12 months after the initial angioplasty and access-related events were recorded (eg, thrombosis, repeat angioplasty, infection, loss of access). Average ABF rates increased from 655 mL/min+/-45 before angioplasty to 946 mL/min+/-50 after angioplasty. The median ABF rate after the procedure was 1,040 mL/min. Grafts with an ABF rate after angioplasty of less than 1,000 mL/min were more likely to require repeat intervention and to exhibit thrombosis within the first 6 months compared with those with ABF rates greater than 1,000 mL/m...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
