Endovascular arteriovenous fistulas (eAVFs) are a new and less invasive type of creation for dialysis access. The anastomosis for eAVFs often occurs between the ipsilateral proximal radial artery and vein or proximal ulnar artery and vein. As eAVF creations are in locations that are not traditionally used for surgical AVF creations, the question of how to approach reversal of these fistulas arises. Here we present a case of closure of an ulnar artery to ulnar vein eAVF.

A 2-day-old neonate was referred to the vascular surgery service owing to concerns of limb perfusion after entrapment of a microcatheter in the middle cerebral artery. The catheter was inserted via the umbilical artery to treat a vein of Galen arteriovenous malformation. This catheter inadvertently became entrapped owing to device failure, was cut at the insertion site, and left in situ for 3 months.

Background: Traumatic arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are rare entities, especially when referring to visceral arterioportal AVFs. Currently, there are no large epidemiological studies looking specifically at traumatic visceral AVFs. When traumatic AVFs have been discussed in the literature, it is in the form of case reports or case series and focused on peripheral AVFs.

Lower extremity arteriovenous (AV) access serves as a crucial alternative for hemodialysis when upper extremity options are no longer viable. While there are numerous reports on functional patency, limited information exists regarding complications related to venous insufficiency and postoperative quality of life. This study aims to assess the actual incidence of such complications and provide evidence-based insights for clinical decision-making.

Background And Purpose: Embolization is the first-line treatment for dural arteriovenous fistulas (dAVF). The precipitating hydrophobic injectable liquid (PHIL) embolic agent is a non-adhesive copolymer with specific features and endovascular behavior. This study assessed its safety and efficacy in a prospective real-life cohort.

Background: We aim to share our experience of transradial access (TRA) for cerebral angiography and intervention in five patients ranging from 6 days to 7 months of age.

Methods: In this institutional review board-approved, retrospective case series, we reviewed all patients who underwent TRA for cerebral angiography with and without intervention. We describe three techniques for radial artery cannulation, namely: (1) bareback; (2) with a micropuncture sheath; and (3) with an intravenous catheter.
