Scoring paclitaxel-coated balloon angioplasty improves 6-month target lesion primary patency by 21.2 percentage points
Paclitaxel coated balloons improve blood flow for dialysis patients
This randomized controlled trial of 219 adults with malfunctioning arteriovenous fistulas or grafts found that scoring paclitaxel-coated bal…
A new balloon technique using a paclitaxel coating helps keep dialysis access sites open longer compared to standard treatments.
Systematic review confirms clip anastomosis improves one and two year primary patency rates for arteriovenous fistula creation compared to suture methods
Vascular Clips Outperform Sutures for Dialysis Access Longevity
A comprehensive meta-analysis of 2,964 patients indicates that clip anastomosis significantly enhances one-year and two-year primary patency…
• Clips keep dialysis access open longer than sutures • Helps kidney patients needing reliable treatment lifelines • Not ready for all clini…
Meta-analysis shows systemic heparinization reduces early patency loss in adult AVF or graft placement
Systemic heparin lowers early clot risk but raises bleeding danger for arm access patients
This meta-analysis evaluated systemic heparinization versus standard care in adults undergoing arm arteriovenous fistula or graft placement.
A large analysis shows systemic heparin cuts early clot risk for arm access but increases bleeding complications, requiring careful balance.
