Video-assisted two-stage basilic vein transposition for creation of brachio-basilic arteriovenous fistulae

2012

We report our experience in a mixed minimally-in- vasive technique for the two-stage transposition of basilic vein on a small series of eight patients. The operative tech- nique consisted of a modified endoscopic (1) approach for the two-stage transposition (2). The intervention was performed under Brachial Plexus Block (3).

Bleeding in Uremia

2021

Progressive deterioration of renal function eventually leads to uremia, which is associated with impaired function of platelets and a disturbed platelet–vessel wall interaction thus increasing the risk of bleeding in patients with renal failure. Furthermore, also anemia and anticoagulants/antiplatelet drugs contribute to the increased risk of bleeding in patients with end stage renal disease. Management of bleeding episodes in uremic patients includes an adequate dialysis, the correction of anemia with erythropoietin or erythropoetin stimulating agents, the administration of estrogens, desmopressin, fresh frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate, factor VIIa, or tranexamic acid. In severe bleeding ep…

Prone Position Facilitates Creation of Ulnar-Basilic Arteriovenous Fistula

2022

Background: The distal ulnar-basilic arteriovenous fistula (UBAVF) is a rarely used alternative type of vascular access for haemodialysis. The location of the vein on the back aspect of the forearm forces an extremely uncomfortable external rotation of the upper limb during surgery when the patient is in a supine position. Methods: We present a new approach towards creating UBAVF, which involves placing the patient in the prone position, thus eliminating the aforementioned inconvenience. The procedure was performed and described in a 46-year-old patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to diabetic nephropathy. In the period from September 2021 to December 2021, we created an additional…
