In the paper 15 children are presented with terminal renal insufficiency in whom 17 arteriovenous fistulas were created between brachial artery and basilic vein displaced subcutaneously within the arm. Operational technique and obtained results are discussed with particular stress put on the usefulness of this type of fistula for children requiring treatment with haemodialysis.

Introduction Surgical inpatients frequently require peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) for parenteral feeding and administration of medication. PICCs may cause upper limb deep venous thrombosis (ULDVT), which impacts patient morbidity. We investigated the risk and prevention of PICC-ULDVT in hospitalised surgical inpatients.

In order to provide some references for vein approach selection in adrenal vein sampling (AVS), this retrospective study analyzed 325 cases of primary aldosteronism (PA) patients who underwent AVS via the upper extremity vein approach, comparing the differences in complications and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores through median cubital vein (MCV), basilic vein (BV), and cephalic vein (CV). The results indicated no significant difference in the incidence of venous spasm (right MCV vs. right BV vs.

We report our hospital-based experience in management strategies and outcomes for pediatric extremity vascular trauma at a major trauma center. A retrospective chart review was conducted on patients under 18 with extremity vascular injuries who had surgery between May 2021 and February 2023. Among 46 children, 16 (34.

Objective: Creation of a basilic vein arteriovenous transposition fistula (BBAVF) can be performed either as a one or two stage procedure; however, evidence for the best technique is conflicting. The aim of this national registry review was to determine whether functional outcomes favoured either method.
Methods: This was an observational retrospective study with data from the Swedish Renal Registry.

Objectives: Basilic vein transposition (BVT) surgery is a crucial option for vascular access in hemodialysis patients when other alternatives are unavailable. One of the primary complications affecting the long-term function of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) is the development of pseudoaneurysms, often caused by repeated punctures at the same site. This study aims to evaluate whether increasing the length of the basilic vein available for cannulation during the second stage of BVT surgery reduces the risk of puncture-related pseudoaneurysms, thereby improving fistula longevity and functionality.
