Background: To investigate the relationship between intimal thickness on ultrasonography and long-term patency of arteriovenous fistula restenosis after cutting balloon and high pressure balloon angioplasty.
Methods: We retrospectively compared the outcomes between cutting balloon angioplasty and high pressure balloon angioplasty in 149 patients with hemodialysis access restenosis. The relationship of intimal thickness and primary assisted patency of hemodialysis access on ultrasonography was investigated as the primary outcome, using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards model. The second outcomes included residual diameter, blood flow, and venous pressure of hemodialysis access before and after angiography and balloon diameter and inflation pressure.
Results: Primary assisted patency in cutting balloon angioplasty was 90.6%, which was significantly (P = 0.001) more than that of 37.9% in high pressure balloon angioplasty during the 20-month follow-up period. Cox proportional hazards model screened significant factors including procedure type (high pressure or cutting, P = 0.004), inflation pressure (P = 0.013), preoperative intimal thickness (P = 0.009), and difference of intimal thickness (P = 0.029). Finally, procedure type (P = 0.012) and preoperative intimal thickness (P = 0.033) were identified for predicting primary assisted patency by multivariate Cox proportional hazards model.
Conclusions: Compared to high pressure balloon angioplasty for treating patients with hemodialysis access restenosis, cutting balloon angioplasty had a better primary assisted patency. The increase of intimal thickness on ultrasonography after angiography was inversely correlated with primary assisted patency.

The prevalence of systolic hypertension phenotypes based on simultaneous 24-h brachial (br) and aortic (ao) ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) remains unknown. We sought to describe their prevalence and associations with hypertension mediated organ damage (HMOD). Participants with 24-h br and ao ABPM, carotid ultrasound and echocardiography data were categorized into 4 systolic hypertension phenotypes: sustained systolic br and ao normotension (SSN), isolated br systolic hypertension (IbrSH), isolated ao systolic hypertension (IaoSH) and sustained br and ao systolic hypertension (SSH).

To investigate the correlation between blood stasis syndrome and arteriopathy in immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN). Wall thickness/outer vessel diameter, intimal thickness/outer vessel diameter, and medial thickness/outer vessel diameter were measured using ImageJ software. Vascular endothelial-derived growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, and nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) were detected by immunohistochemical staining.

Introduction: Neointimal hyperplasia is one of the persistent complications after vascular interventions, and is the major cause of treatment failure. Interleukin-33 (IL-33) emerges as a crucial factor in many biological processes and plays an important role in vascular diseases. Adventitial injection is catching attention for its effectiveness and fewer side effects.

Introduction: This study evaluates the efficacy of uncrosslinked porcine collagen coated vascular grafts (UPCCVG) in facilitating neointima formation and endothelialization.
Methods: Prior to coating, the uncrosslinked porcine collagen underwent comprehensive characterization employing SDS-PAGE, image analysis, circular dichroism and immunogenicity. The PET substrate of the vascular graft was coated with collagen solution utilizing the dip-coating method.

Currently, there is often a lack of suitable small-caliber graft vessels for treating cardiovascular diseases because of thrombosis and intimal hyperplasia. Tissue engineered vascular grafts (TEVGs) promise a potential solution to this issue. Acellular vascular matrix with good mechanical properties and biocompatibility is commonly used as a tissue engineered scaffold.
