Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a surgical connection between an artery and a vein created in patients with end-stage renal disease needing dialysis. A major concern with AVF is maturation failure which results, while creating a new AVF, a troublesome process for the patients. Thus, maturation of AVF is important which is achieved by outflow tract outward remodeling.

Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) is a life threatening condition with age-related escalation in prevalence. Acute PE is a common and sometimes fatal disease. The approach to the evaluation should be efficient while simultaneously avoiding the risks of unnecessary testing so that therapy can be promptly initiated and potential morbidity and mortality avoided.

Long-term Follow Up of a Complex Case of Foldable Capsular Vitreous Bag Implantation.

Retin Cases Brief Rep

December 2024

Liverpool Ocular Oncology Research Centre, Department of Molecular and Clinical Cancer Medicine, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, UK.

Purpose: The Foldable Capsular Vitreous Bag (FCVB) implant is useful in maintaining ocular structure in cases of chronic hypotony secondary to trauma or repeated surgery. There are few published reports of long-term outcomes and no indication of the chronic cellular changes of the adjacent tissues associated with FCVB implantation. We describe one of few FCVB cases in the UK and present histological findings associated with it following secondary enucleation.

Relationship of Serum 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Concentrations, Diabetes, Vitamin D Receptor Gene Polymorphisms and Incident Venous Thromboembolism.

Diabetes Metab Res Rev

January 2025

Division of Nephrology, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, National Clinical Research Center for Kidney Disease, State Key Laboratory of Organ Failure Research, Guangdong Provincial Institute of Nephrology, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Renal Failure Research, Guangzhou, China.

Fluid-structure interaction in a follow-up study of arterio-venous fistula maturation.

Sci Rep

November 2024

School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, University of New South Wales, Sydney, NSW, 2052, Australia.

Article Synopsis
  • - Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the ideal vascular access for patients undergoing hemodialysis, created by surgically connecting an artery and vein, but research indicates that many do not function beyond a year.
  • - This study utilized fluid-structure interaction (FSI) modeling to analyze non-Newtonian blood flow in a specific type of AVF over a 15-week and 1.5-year period, assessing both hemodynamic changes and wall alterations through ultrasound.
  • - Key findings included the presence of counter-rotating vortices affecting pressure, different patterns of blood flow characteristics over time, minimal low-wall shear stress in healthy AVFs, and shifts in areas of maximum wall deformation as time

Assessing the Impact of Peripheral Artery Disease on Total Knee Arthroplasty Outcomes.

J Arthroplasty

November 2024

Department of Orthopaedics, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas; Surgical Service, Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Dallas, Texas.

Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a crucial orthopaedic procedure used to relieve pain from knee joint degeneration. Concurrently, peripheral artery disease (PAD) presents a major challenge, complicating orthopaedic interventions, particularly TKA, due to its impact on vascular health. Despite advances in surgical techniques and care, patients who have PAD undergoing TKA face heightened risks.

December 2024

Department of Vascular surgery, University hospital of Bratislava, Faculty of Medicine - Comenius University, Slovak Republic.

Article Synopsis
  • Phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD) is a serious condition caused by massive deep vein thrombosis that can threaten both life and limbs, often requiring urgent treatment options such as endovascular therapy or surgical embolectomy in specific cases.
  • A patient case illustrated simultaneous PCD with acute limb ischemia, showing symptoms like abdominal pain, cyanosis, and motor deficits, leading to a successful combined surgical embolectomy to resolve the issues.
  • This report emphasizes that there are no formal guidelines for treating PCD and stresses the necessity for personalized treatment strategies and comprehensive care access.

Unlabelled: Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies and venous and arterial thrombotic events, including obstetric complications. We describe the case of a 56-year-old female diagnosed with APS with triple antibody positivity and multiple disease-associated manifestations, namely recurrent purpuric lesions, adrenal insufficiency due to infarction, acalculous cholecystitis, and three spontaneous abortions. Her follow-up was marked by severe thrombotic and haemorrhagic events, notably splanchnic vein thrombosis and haemorrhagic shock after a renal biopsy, as well as the diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus 8 years after the APS diagnosis.

Repair of Contained Rupture of an Infrarenal Aortic Aneurysm Using Autologous Superficial Femoral Vein.

EJVES Vasc Forum

September 2024

Department of Surgery, Hawassa University, College of Medicine and Health Sciences, School of Medicine, Hawassa, Ethiopia.

Introduction: Contained ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (CR-AAA) refers to an acute aortic wall disruption leading to expansion of perivascular haematoma that is sealed off by peri-aortic structures. Low and middle income countries have a critical gap in managing abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). In Ethiopia, AAA screening is not routine and open surgical repair (OSR) using donated grafts remains the only treatment option.

Outcomes After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Patients With Previous Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting.

Am J Cardiol

January 2025

School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Electronic address:

In patients with previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) requiring subsequent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), there is uncertainty whether bypass grafts or native coronary arteries should be targeted. We analyzed data from 2,764 patients with previous CABG in the Melbourne Interventional Group registry (2005 to 2018), divided into 2 groups: those who underwent PCI in a native vessel (n = 1,928) and those with PCI in a graft vessel (n = 836). Patients with a graft vessel PCI were older, had more high-risk clinical characteristics (previous myocardial infarction, heart failure, ejection fraction <50%, renal impairment, peripheral and cerebrovascular disease), and had high-risk procedural features (American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association types B2/C lesions).
