A new 11.5F over-the-wire vascular hemostasis device was compared to conventional manual compression in normal swine femoral arteries. Using percutaneous techniques, the collagen was deposited and hemostasis achieved in 7 vessels after 1 minute total, plus 4 minutes partial compression, while control manual compression required more than 5 minutes total compression to avoid hematoma formation. One month follow-up of treated arteries (n = 4) and controls (n = 3) showed no impairment in distal pulse or differences in histology at the puncture site in the control and treated arteries. Thus, the vascular hemostasis device technique is safe and effective, achieves hemostasis with less compression time and complications, and does not interfere with arterial wall healing or compromise the lumen.

Aims: Childhood cancer is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases in later life. Retinal examination allows to non-invasively observe the vasculature of an end-organ. We observe alterations in long-term childhood cancer survivors (CCS).

This study investigates the association between self-reported birth weight (BW) and the frequency of cataract and pseudophakia in a large population-based cohort in Germany, as part of the Gutenberg Health Study (GHS). Slit lamp examination and Scheimpflug imaging of 8205 participants, aged 35 to 74, were assessed and signs of cataract or pseudophakia analyzed. The research aimed to explore the correlation between fetal growth restriction and/or prematurity indicated by BW and the frequency of cataract and pseudophakia.

Objective: To evaluate the features of primary and recurrent stroke in men aged 18-50 years with atherothrombotic, lacunar, and cardioembolic subtypes.
Material And Methods: A total of 125 men with primary and recurrent stroke were included in the study. The main vascular risk factors and lifestyle-related risk factors were assessed.

Background: The arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis. AVF stenosis is a common complication, often requiring balloon angioplasty. For recurrent stenosis, AVF stenting may be an option.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: When inserting central venous catheters, inadvertent injury of major vessels is a rare yet critical complication. Direct surgery is sometimes overly invasive. This report describes a subclavian artery injury caused by inadvertent cannulation of a dialysis catheter, successfully treated with a covered stent.
