Despite much effort, synthetic small diameter vascular grafts still face limited success due to
vascular wall thickening known as intimal hyperplasia (IH). Compliance mismatch between …

Vascular access dysfunction is one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality in
haemodialysis patients, contributing to up to one third of hospitalisations and accounting for …

Background Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a novel inflammatory marker, and
inflammation has been reported to be related with renal damage. We aimed to investigate …

Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) display an elevated risk of thrombosis.
Thrombosis occurs in cardiovascular events, such as venous thromboembolism, stroke, and …

For hemodialysis patients, arteriovenous fistula (AVF) patency determines whether
adequate hemofiltration can be achieved, and directly influences clinical outcomes. Here …

Intimal hyperplasia (IH), a crucial histopathological injury, forms the basis of vascular
stenosis and thrombogenesis. In addition, it is common in maladies such as stenosis at the …

Background The impact of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or graft (AVG) thrombosis on mortality
has been sparsely studied. This study investigated the association between AVF/AVG …

Autogenous radial–cephalic direct wrist arteriovenous fistula (RC-AVF) in the non-dominant
arm is the gold standard for dialysis vascular access. However, the RC-AVF non-maturation …

Purpose A controlled, prospective, multicenter, randomized trial to compare primary patency
after angioplasty with a drug-coated balloon versus plain angioplasty balloon in stenosis of …

There is no therapy that promotes maturation and functionality of a dialysis arteriovenous
fistula (AVF). The search for such therapies largely relies on evaluation of vascular …
