Recently developed endovascular techniques to create percutaneous arteriovenous fistulas are an alternative to surgical arteriovenous fistula creation, although there is currently a lack of high-level evidence regarding their creation, maturation, utilization, and long-term function. Recognizing this, the Society of Interventional Radiology Foundation sponsored a Research Consensus Panel and Summit for the prioritization of a research agenda to identify and address the gaps in current knowledge.

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.

Background: There is no systematic classification of renal vascular injuries conducted for severe post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) bleeding.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to explore the various types of artery injury and clinical characteristics of patients who underwent transcatheter angioembolization (TAE) after PCNL.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 52 patients who underwent renal arteriography (RA) because of severe bleeding after PCNL between April 2009 and December 2023.

Objective: This retrospective, single centre, comparative effectiveness study aimed to compare the long term outcomes of percutaneous arteriovenous fistulae (pAVF) and surgically created arteriovenous fistulae (sAVF) created in the proximal forearm for haemodialysis access.

Methods: Data were reviewed from a prospectively maintained database on patients who underwent pAVF or sAVF creation from September 2017 to September 2023. A total of 217 pAVFs (61 WavelinQ and 156 Ellipsys) and 158 sAVFs were analysed.

Stenosis within the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) of hemodialysis patients leads to vascular access dysfunction and inadequate hemodialysis. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is the standard therapy for stenosis. However, rates of restenosis and loss of access patency remain high.

The introduction of devices for endovascular dialysis access creation (WavelinQ and Ellipsys) offers practitioners more options for access management in dialysis patients. Especially in terms of reducing the usage of central venous catheters, a native fistula is desirable as an initial dialysis access. We present a case in which a failed WavelinQ type fistula was reactivated using the Ellipsys procedure on the same arm.
