The authors describe a patient with a rare type of renal arteriovenous malformation, which was successfully treated by therapeutic coil embolization. Embolization did not destroy healthy renal tissue, as was shown by the Cerino technique, which measures the glomerular filtration rate of each kidney by image processing for standard renograms obtained after administration of diethylene-triaminepenta-acetic acid labelled with technetium 99m.

Optimizing the longevity of vascular access in hemodialysis patients remains a critical aspect of patient care, given the significant role of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) in enabling effective dialysis. Vascular access complications, such as stenosis, thrombosis, and cannulation-related damage, continue to challenge both the functionality and the sustainability of these access points. Recent advancements underscore the importance of a robust follow-up strategy, integrating clinical evaluations with diagnostic tools like color Doppler ultrasound (CDU) and emerging interventional approaches such as drug-coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty.

Background: Globally, haemodialysis is the most frequent type of kidney replacement therapy and necessitates access to the bloodstream either through a native arteriovenous fistula, arteriovenous graft or central venous catheter. Vascular access complications are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in adults receiving haemodialysis, and effective vascular access self-management is required.
Objective: To examine the effectiveness of educational or behavioural interventions designed to improve self-management of long-term vascular access in adults receiving haemodialysis.

Background: An effectively functioning arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is vital for end-stage renal disease patients. This study aims to evaluate the effects of Fogarty balloon catheter dilation on creating an effectively functioning AVF.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at our clinic between 2020 and 2022.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in patients undergoing hemodialysis with different types of superior vena cava obstruction (SVCO) lesions.
Methods: This retrospective observational study recruited patients undergoing hemodialysis with SVCO and analyzed the clinical characteristics of SVCO. Patency rates were collected for patients treated with PTA and were assessed using the t-test, U-test, log-rank test and survival analyses such as the Kaplan-Meier method.
