To lower the risk of stent migration in a graft-venous anastomosis stenosis following failed percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, two Strecker stents of different caliber were placed in partly overlapping fashion across the stenosis. In contrast to other methods, stent "floating" on the venous side was eliminated by using a stent with a caliber matching the tapering postanastomotic vein and anchoring it to both the venous wall and the second stent. Using this method we believe we accomplished better fixation of the stent placed mostly in the venous side of the anastomosis, thus lowering its risk of migration. At 6 months follow-up the stents are in place and the anastomosis is patent.

Early (<14 days) renal transplant vein thrombosis posttransplant (eRVTPT) is a rare but threatening complication. We aimed to assess eRVTPT management and the rate of functional renal transplantation. Of 11,172 adult patients who had undergone transplantation between 01/1997 and 12/2020 at 6 French centres, we identified 176 patients with eRVTPT (1.

Although necessary for hemodialysis (HD), arteriovenous grafts (AVG) frequently cause complications. Stenosis resulting in venous hypertension is a concern for physicians. Herein, we describe how venous hypertension was improved by using a Viabahn stent graft in an elderly HD patient.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of angioplasty using drug-eluting balloons (DEB) compared with plain old balloon angioplasty (POBA) to reduce the rate of restenosis.
Methods: This prospective, single-centre, single-blinded, 1:1 randomized, clinical trial enrolled patients that had primary or restenotic lesions in native upper extremity arteriovenous (AV) fistulas or at the graft-venous anastomosis. Patients were randomized to angioplasty with a POBA or a DEB.

Background: Despite advances in immunosuppression and surgical technique, pancreas transplantation is encumbered with a high rate of complication and graft losses. Particularly, venous graft thrombi occur relatively frequently and are rarely detected before the transplant is irreversibly damaged.
Methods: To detect complications early, when the grafts are potentially salvageable, we placed microdialysis catheters anteriorly and posteriorly to the graft in a cohort of 34 consecutive patients.

Recipient cava may be unavailable for outflow reconstruction in some children undergoing liver transplantation (PLT) due to caval agenesis, tumor, or fibrotic caval occlusion. Non-standard hepatic venous reconstruction (NHVR) with a direct veno-caval anastomosis or neo-cava reconstruction is necessary in such cases. Retrospective review of all PLT needing NHVR performed in our unit from January 2010 to September 2019 was performed.
