Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how different treatments (balloon angioplasty vs. drug-coated balloons) affect the changes in blood vessel tissues following arteriovenous fistula stenosis in pigs with chronic kidney disease.
- Significant differences in tissue composition were observed, with drug-coated balloons leading to lower neointimal growth and higher endothelial cell counts compared to standard angioplasty.
- The findings suggest that using drug-coated balloons may improve vessel healing and reduce complications over time, as shown by varied immune cell responses and tissue growth patterns.
Predictors of survival and functioning of arteriovenous fistula in patients on hemodialysis during a one-year follow-up.

Introduction: The mortality rate of hemodialysis patients is extremely high and it is significantly affected by vascular access dysfunction. Our research aimed to determine predictive parameters of arteriovenous fistula functioning and survival in a one-year follow-up period.
Methods: The research was organized as a prospective, one-year study, which included 120 dialysis patients who were followed for one year.
Jejunal artery and vein positioning in free jejunal transfer: Surgical considerations and clinical implications.

Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery, Nippon Medical School, Tokyo, Japan.
Background: Previous computed tomography studies have reported that the superior mesenteric artery is often located ventrally to the superior mesenteric vein; however, the precise location of the peripheral jejunal arteriovenous system is unknown. This study investigated the arteriovenous positioning of the free jejunal flaps during reconstructive surgery.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 78 patients who underwent free jejunal flap reconstruction between June 2021 and May 2023.
Objectives: Femoral vein transposition (tFV) is a complex procedure that provides high patency rates for patients with exhausted upper-limb vascular access. Traditionally, the procedure involves a long single incision in the thigh to harvest the femoral vein, but this approach is associated with increased risks of local complications such as infections and haematomas. Skip incisions have shown to lower complication rates and shorten maturation times.

Department of Nephrology, Coimbra Hospital and University Center, Coimbra, Portugal.
Introduction: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation failure remains common despite preoperative ultrasound mapping. Identifying predictive biomarkers can help anticipate primary failure and reducing invasive procedures. Our study aimed to identify clinical and analytical risk factors for primary AVF failure or delay.
