Vascular leiomyosarcoma is a very rare soft tissue neoplasma. We are reporting a vascular leiomyosarcoma case arising from an unusual site: the radiocephalic vein. Despite a poor prognosis, after surgery and radiotherapy, the patient was alive without signs of recurrence two years later.

A prospective study of factors associated with successful maturation of arteriovenous fistulas for hemodialysis.
J Ultrason
December 2024
Department of Nephrology, General Hospital of Mexico Dr. Eduardo Liceaga, Mexico City, Mexico.
Aim: Our objective was to determine the factors associated with the successful maturation of arteriovenous fistulas during hemodialysis.
Material And Methods: This prospective study included patients treated with hemodialysis and predialysis patients. Clinical, biochemical, sociodemographic, vascular ultrasound mapping, flow-mediated dilatation, and surgical factors were analyzed.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of upper limb arteriovenous fistulas used for hemodialysis in patients, focusing on their Doppler ultrasound results.
- Conducted at Yaoundé University Teaching Hospital, it included 41 dialysis patients and found that a significant number had complications such as stenosis and low flow volume.
- Key findings showed that over half of the fistulas were stenosed, with common complications including aneurysms and reverse flow, highlighting a high prevalence of vascular issues in these access points.
Fluid-structure interaction in a follow-up study of arterio-venous fistula maturation.

Article Synopsis
- - Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the ideal vascular access for patients undergoing hemodialysis, created by surgically connecting an artery and vein, but research indicates that many do not function beyond a year.
- - This study utilized fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling to analyze non-Newtonian blood flow in a specific type of AVF over a 15-week and 1.5-year period, assessing both hemodynamic changes and wall alterations through ultrasound.
- - Key findings included the presence of counter-rotating vortices affecting pressure, different patterns of blood flow characteristics over time, minimal low-wall shear stress in healthy AVFs, and shifts in areas of maximum wall deformation as time
Interwoven nitinol stent-assisted arteriovenous fistula maturation: 2 year-outcomes of a single center experience.
Vascular

Division of Vascular Surgery, Department of Surgery, Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima Hospital, Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to report 2-year outcomes of interwoven nitinol (Supera) stent-assisted arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation in patients who presented with non-matured AVF.
Methods: We reviewed the clinical data of 20 patients who presented with non-matured AVF (19 patients with brachiocephalic AVF and 1 patient with radiocephalic AVF) and underwent balloon angioplasty followed by Supera stenting in the cephalic vein for long-term hemodialysis between January 2017 and January 2022. The outcomes were evaluated in these patients in terms of technical success, post-intervention complications, reintervention, and cumulative patency (6 months, 1 year, and 2 years).
The role of a distal forearm perforating vein and deep vein system in supporting patency of a snuffbox fistula - A case report.

The purpose of this manuscript is to describe the clinical course of a 66-year-old patient with chronic kidney disease due to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in whom an access arteriovenous fistula was created in the anatomical snuffbox. At discharge, the fistula thrill was normal. Two months later, a duplex examination revealed previously unrecognized obstruction of the mid-forearm segment of the cephalic vein; flow was maintained by a perforator into the deep venous system, which returned blood to the upper arm cephalic vein above the occlusion.
