Vascular access remains one of the most challenging aspects of renal replacement therapy.
If the vascular access does not function properly, then haemodialysis will not remove …

Background Multiple studies have demonstrated the benefits of creating arteriovenous
fistulas (AVFs) under regional anesthesia. This is most likely because of the avoidance of …

Background Arteriovenous fistulae (AVF) are the hemodialysis access modality of choice for
patients with end-stage renal disease. However, they have a high early failure rate. Good …

Objective Previous studies evaluating general anesthesia (GA) vs regional (epidural/spinal)
anesthesia (RA) for infrainguinal bypass have produced conflicting results. The purpose of …

Objective: We sought to confirm and extend the understanding of clinical outcomes following
creation of a common distal autogenous access, the radiocephalic arteriovenous fistula …

Background Regional anesthesia improves short-term blood flow through arteriovenous
fistulas (AVFs). We previously demonstrated that, compared with local anesthesia, regional …

Background and Objectives: Regional anesthesia has been proposed as the preferred
mode of anesthesia for arteriovenous fistula surgery due to its associated vasodilatory …

Background and aims: Dexamethasone as adjunct to local anesthetic solution improves the
quality of brachial plexus block (BPB). However, evidence for its efficacy at low doses (< 4 …

Value-based healthcare prioritizes patient outcomes and quality relative to costs, shifting
focus from service volume to delivered value. This review explores the significant role of …

Objective Recent advances in endovascular technology have allowed complex peripheral
arterial disease (PAD) to be treated with less invasive hybrid procedures under neuraxial …
