Herein, we report the case of a 2-year-old boy in whom a bent peripheral venous catheter was inserted using ultrasound-guided dynamic needle tip positioning via a short-axis out-of-plane approach. The peripheral venous catheter appeared to be successfully inserted into the cephalic vein in the forearm using dynamic needle tip positioning via a shor...

Long peripheral catheter is 6-15 cm long vascular device. The aim of the study was to compare the frequency of complications of two types of long peripheral catheters with different length inserted in DIVA patients. Under ultrasound navigation 2.7F 6.4 cm or 4Fr 12 cm long peripheral catheter was inserted. Complications of both long peripheral cath...

Native arteriovenous fistula is the preferred vascular access in term of functionality, efficiency and complication rate. Nevertheless, research continues to seek strategies to reduce the risk of neointimal hyperplasia and hemodynamic modification. The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact on hemodynamic of the VasQ device in arteriovenous fi...

International guidelines recommend the use of autogenous vascular access. Where suitable superficial veins are unavailable deeper veins may be used as an option. In most cases, basilic veins are used when cephalic veins are unavailable; arteriovenous fistulas using the brachial vein from the deep venous network are rare. Therefore, the purpose of t...

Left distal radial artery (LDRA) has got high popularity as an alternative safe access site in coronary angiography. However, little is known about its applicability in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. We aimed to assess the convenience of LDRA access in STEMI patients...

Long peripheral catheters are the ideal devices for intermediate venous access (1-4 weeks). However due to non-availability and cost constraints, these lines are not widely adapted in developing countries. In this clinical report we describe a technique of using conventional Central Venous Catheters as Midclavicular midlines for intermediate venous...

Obstruction or occlusion of the central veins (Central venous disease, CVD) represents a major complication in hemodialysis patients (HD) limiting central venous access available for a central venous catheter placement. Endovascular treatment with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is the first therapeutic option to restore patency and gai...

Newborns treated in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) are susceptible to several complications one of them being vein thrombosis. The study aims to evaluate risk factors of catheter-related venous thrombosis, clinical manifestations, treatment, and the outcomes of thrombotic events (TE) during the neonatal period. This work is a case-control re...

It is unclear what the optimal upper extremity hemodialysis access is for patients without a suitable cephalic vein for arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs). The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to compare the outcomes for upper extremity transposed brachiobasilic AVFs (BBAVFs) and prosthetic arteriovenous grafts (AVGs). A systema...
