Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) has become the preferred approach over open repair for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) due to its minimally invasive nature. The common femoral artery (CFA) is the main access vessel for EVAR, with both surgical exposure and percutaneous access being utilized. However, in emergent cases, percutaneous access can be challenging and may result in complications such as bleeding or dissection thrombosis, leading to the need for surgical conversion.

- - In patients with end-stage renal failure needing hemodialysis, creating an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is favored over using tunneled dialysis catheters due to lower complications and costs, but AVF maturation failure is a common issue.
- - This study explores the effectiveness of using intraoperative Doppler ultrasound (DUS)-guided Balloon-Assisted Maturation (BAM) with drug-eluting balloons (DEB) to enhance AVF maturation following initial creation, using data from 114 procedures.
- - Results showed that BAM led to successful AVF maturation with minimal early complications, no AVF thrombosis, and an average maturation time of 15 days, highlighting the potential to reduce reinterventions by
Brachial artery aneurysm after hemodialysis fistula ligation: Case reports and review of literature.
Int J Surg Case Rep
February 2024
Introduction: Brachial artery aneurysm (BAA) following long-standing arteriovenous fistula (AVF) ligation after renal transplantation is odd.
Case Presentation: Two cases of brachial artery aneurysm treated with bypass (a saphenous vein graft and a PTFE graft). In the first patient no complications were recorded whereas an infection was diagnosed after 6 months from the procedure in the second treatment.
