Introduction: Intravenous (IV) placement outcomes in pediatric patients need to be improved. The purpose of the study was to examine if a pediatric peripheral vascular access algorithm with a pediatric vascular access team (PPVAA-VAT) improved IV placement outcomes compared with Pediatric Peripheral Vascular Access Algorithm (PPVAA)-alone use.
Methods: This study was a prospective, comparative, two-group design of hospitalized children. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to evaluate differences between cohort outcomes.
Results: The PPVAA-alone IV attempts (n = 302) were followed by PPVAA-VAT attempts (n = 294). First attempt and overall IV success were higher in the PPVAA-VAT group after adjusting for confounding patient characteristics (p < .001 and p = .002, respectively). The IV attempts and staff required per encounter decreased in the PPVAA-VAT vs. PPVAA-alone group.
Discussion: The PPVAA-VAT group had greater first attempt and overall IV success, and was more likely to have fewer attempts and staff involved in IV access encounters.

: In the presence of porcelain aorta (PA), transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has become a class I therapeutic indication for the treatment of severe aortic valve stenosis. To date, few studies have analyzed the clinical outcomes of TAVR in PA patients. We aim to analyze the calcification patterns of the thoracic aorta in PA patients and to evaluate their clinical implications for TAVR procedures.

: The autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred choice for vascular access in patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) undergoing maintenance hemodialysis. However, in the long term, the primary patency of AVF is suboptimal, with an AVF failure of approximately 30% in one year. The aim of this study is to examine how the pre-operative baseline levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) affect long-term AVF failure.

: Hydrophilic polymer embolization (HPE) is a scarcely reported complication associated with endovascular procedures where the hydrophilic coating dislodges and disseminates to more distal vascular beds, leading to ischemic complications. The aim of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes associated with HPE in the literature and try to quantify it in a scoping manner. : All reports with regard to HPE in the PubMed database where clinical data were available were included.
