Intraosseous arteriovenous malformations (AVM) are uncommon high-flow vascular malformation that can affect the maxilla or mandible. AVM may present with aspecific and misleading signs and symptoms. The diagnosis is often accidental and bleeding may represent the first symptom. Radiographically, there are few characteristic features and misdiagnosis is easy. Here we report the case of a young male affected by arteriovenous fistula on the right side of the mandible initially misdiagnosed as a cystic lesion. The patient underwent transarterial embolization of the vascular malformation and subsequently the lesion was surgically removed. 1-year follow-up showed complete healing of the mandibular bone and absence of recurrence. Intraosseous arteriovenous malformations are rare entities. However, due to their harmfulness, both clinicians and radiologists must be aware of this type of lesion and should always consider them in the differential diagnosis of osteolytic lesions.

Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas (SDAVFs) are the most common type of spinal vascular malformations. Multiple SDAVFs are unusual and can occur either synchronously or metachronously, as reported in the literature. We report on the unusual case of a woman with three separate SDAVFs, which were surgically treated within the same setting; the postoperative course was characterised by unexplained repeated haematoma formation within the surgical sites.

Approximately 22 % of the United States population communicates in a non-English language, potentially impacting healthcare communication and outcomes. Few studies have examined the association between non-English primary language (NEPL) and surgical outcomes and none to our knowledge in patients undergoing arteriovenous fistula creation within a safety net system. In this study, we conducted a retrospective analysis on adults who underwent AVF creation for hemodialysis access between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2019.

Although MHD can prolong the survival of patients, their quality of life is lower and the fatality rate is higher. This work analyzed the factors related to the autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF)-like expansion of non-diabetic MHD patients by vascular ultrasound (VUS).

Expansion of home hemodialysis (HHD) provides an opportunity to improve clinical outcomes, reduce cost of care, and address the staffing challenges currently faced in caring for patients with kidney failure on replacement therapy. To increase HHD expansion, current practices and barriers to home dialysis must be examined and addressed. One such barrier is vascular access for HHD; although tunneled hemodialysis central venous catheters (CVCs) have been used for decades, physicians still hesitate to send patients home without a mature, functional arteriovenous access.

Angiosarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignant tumor arising from vascular or lymphatic endothelial cells. Angiosarcoma at an arteriovenous fistula site is exceptionally rare. We report a case of a 37-year-old male renal transplant recipient who developed a high-grade epithelioid angiosarcoma at the site of an arteriovenous fistula six years post-transplant.
