Percutaneous endovascular arteriovenous fistula: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Article Synopsis
- The study looked at a new method called endovascular AVF, which is used to help patients with kidney problems by creating a connection between blood vessels.
- Researchers found that this method had a high success rate of 98%, and it worked almost as well as traditional surgery for creating blood vessel connections.
- Although the endovascular AVF method seems safe, the researchers say more studies are needed to be completely sure about its effectiveness compared to other methods.
Background: Central vein occlusion (CVO) is a serious problem in hemodialysis patients. There is an unsatisfactory result for refractory CVO by sharp recanalization alone. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of blunt impingement followed by sharp recanalization for the treatment of CVO in hemodialysis patients.

- Multiple complete central venous occlusion (CVO) is a rare but serious issue for patients on hemodialysis, where percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is the main treatment method, although long-segment occlusions can be particularly difficult to manage.
- A 76-year-old male patient experienced significant swelling in his right arm due to CVO related to his hemodialysis access, leading to successful recanalization of multiple occluded veins through a groundbreaking bidirectional technique during surgery.
- This case marks the first documented use of superior vena cava puncture in PTA for CVO, offering a new potential option for patients with limited treatment alternatives.
