Published: August 1998

Arteriovenous fistulas of the placenta rarely occur in singleton pregnancies. This report describes the fetal and neonatal hemodynamic pattern in a singleton gestation in which multiple placental artery-to-vein anastomoses were associated with a large atrial septal defect and a single umbilical artery with an anomalous connection of the persistent right and left umbilical veins. Possible links between the extracardiac vascular malformation and the congenital heart defect are discussed.

Background: There is no systematic classification of renal vascular injuries conducted for severe post-percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) bleeding.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to explore the various types of artery injury and clinical characteristics of patients who underwent transcatheter angioembolization (TAE) after PCNL.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 52 patients who underwent renal arteriography (RA) because of severe bleeding after PCNL between April 2009 and December 2023.

Background: Traumatic scalp arteriovenous fistula is a rare vascular abnormality. Open surgical removal and embolization have been employed to address this condition.

Methods: In this report, we present a case involving a 41-year-old man who exhibited a progressively enlarging pulsatile mass in his right occipital scalp.

Background: Brachiocephalic fistula (BCF) and brachiobasilic fistula (BBF) are autogenous fistulas created in the arm for hemodialysis access. However, despite the differences in anatomy and surgical technique, the existing literature shows no significant statistical difference between the maturation, patency, or complications. We analyzed the outcomes of these two types of arteriovenous fistulas in our subgroup of the Indian population.

Introduction And Objectives: Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is one of the cornerstones of rhythm-control therapy for symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel ablation modality that involves the application of electrical pulses causing cellular death, and it has preferential tissue specificity. In this study, we aimed to share a one-year single center experience of AF ablation with PFA.

Introduction: Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation is the most common surgical procedure for providing vascular access for haemodialysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). The functioning of fistula dictates the quality of dialysis and the longevity of patients. The most common circumstances that require surgical takedown of AV fistula are thrombosis and rupture.
