The number and longevity of patients with end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis access have continued to increase, leading to challenging situations, including exhausted upper extremity access and severe central venous stenosis. This has led to an increase in the use of alternative access sites, including the lower extremities. The transposed ...

Wound complications after open infrainguinal revascularization are a frequent cause of patient morbidity, resulting in increased healthcare costs. The purpose of the present study was to assess the effects of closed incision negative pressure therapy (ciNPT) on groin wound complications after infrainguinal bypass and femoral endarterectomy. A total...

The natural history of penetrating aortic ulcers (PAUs) and intramural hematomas (IMHs) of the aorta has not been well described. Although repair is warranted for rupture, unremitting chest pain, or growth, no threshold has been established for treating those found incidentally. Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) offers an attractive appro...

Reports of good short-term outcomes for endovascular repair of popliteal artery aneurysms have led to an increased use of the technique. However, data are lacking on long-term limb-related outcomes and factors associated with the failure of endovascular repair. All patients who underwent endovascular popliteal aneurysm repair (EPAR) at a single ins...

Different graft materials have been proposed for in situ reconstruction in the setting of vascular graft infection (VGI). We analyzed the long-term outcomes after in situ aortoiliac reconstruction with cryopreserved allografts. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients who had undergone in situ aortoiliac reconstruction with cryopreserved a...

Given the superior patency of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) and the decreased risk of infection compared with arteriovenous grafts, the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative guidelines have recommended the fistula-first approach. However, ∼20% to 60% of all fistulas will fail to mature. We have described our experience with a novel technique u...

Although often overlooked during the preoperative evaluation, recent evidence has suggested that depression in patients with peripheral artery disease is associated with increased postoperative complications, including decreased primary and secondary patency after revascularization and an increased risk of major amputation and mortality. Postoperat...

Creation of good long-term arteriovenous access is essential in patients requiring hemodialysis for end-stage renal failure. However, arteriovenous grafts or fistulae can be complicated by infection that may require emergency surgery. For infections that involve the brachial artery anastomosis, or if total graft explantation is indicated, brachial ...
