Catheter Replacement

Introduction: Central venous catheter insertion for long-term vascular access is not recommended in clinical practice. However, since arteriovenous fistula creation is difficult to perform in some patients, central venous catheter insertion for long-term vascular access is performed. This study aimed to assess the complications and service time of central venous catheters replaced using different methods and to determine the influencing factors of service time. Methods: Study design: A retrospective observational cohort study. Setting and participants: Patients who underwent tunneled dialysis catheter malfunction (2009–2019) and had to undergo another dialysis catheter insertion were enrolled. Exposures: Ectopic replacement and in situ replacement. Outcomes: Factors such as age, sex, primary patency rate, secondary patency rate, early complications, and late complications were considered. Analytical approach: This study used a Cox proportional hazards regression model. Results: The first and the newly replaced catheter service time were 37.779 ± 24.563 months and 32.468 ± 26.638 (25) months in the ectopic group and 37.075 ± 20.550 months and 26.349 ± 22.672 months in the in situ group, respectively. In the early service time, the newly replaced catheter resulted in significant bleeding from the tunnel. The first catheter had the least complications, most adequate blood flow, and longest service time. Ectopic catheter replacement and the tip shape of the catheter were the independent factors for catheter service time. Catheter service time increased with age. Conclusion: Ectopic catheter replacement can improve the primary patency rate and auxiliary primary patency rate of catheters. Ectopic catheter replacement may require sufficient surgical skills with digital subtraction angiography, resulting in a better prognosis.

Lysis Therapy

Background: Long term results of systemic lysis therapy with ultrahigh-dose urokinase (UHUK) in reopening aorto-iliac occlusive disease have not yet been evaluated. This prospective trial investigates the long-term primary patency rate, the rate of complications and assesses the role of different expected influence parameters on the primary patency rate. Patients and methods: 72 patients with aorto-iliac occlusive disease received daily intravenous infusions of UHUK either until reperfusion or – after at least 3 cycles – no progress in recanalization could be stated on two consecutive days by duplex scanning. Results: Systemic lysis therapy was morphological at least partially successful in 44 patients (61.1%). Concomitant percutaneous transluminal angioplasty was performed in 41 patients (56.9%), surgery in 7 patients (9.7%) and both in further 5 patients (6.9%). In patients without surgery hemodynamical success could be achieved in 39 patients (54.2%) and even more important clinical success in 51 patients (70.8%). Compared to baseline results patients improved significantly in ankle/brachial pressure index and in Fontaine stages (p < 0,001), the same results could be seen after a mean follow-up period of 62 months. Thrombolysis was complicated in 4 patients (5.6%) by macroembolizations but no major bleedings or deaths occurred. Primary patency was 76%, 64%, and 43% after 1, 5 and 10 years. Male sex and distal localization were significantly correlated with lower primary clinical patency. Conclusion: Systemic lysis therapy is an alternative to surgical intervention in acute and subacute aorto-iliac occlusive disease, because it offers acceptable long-term results with a low rate of complications.

Background: Endovascular treatment is an increasingly used therapeutic option in patients with chronic atherosclerotic occlusive mesenteric disease. Purpose of this study was evaluation of patency and mortality in patients treated with visceral artery percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) or stenting including follow-up. Patients and methods: A retrospective review of 17 consecutive patients (4 women, 13 men) with endovascular treatment for symptomatic chronic mesenteric ischemia from 1998 to 2004 was performed. Mean follow-up period was 42 months. Patient demographics, interventional details, primary and/or secondary patency and mortality were recorded. Cumulative mortality and patency rates were determined using Kaplan-Meier life table analysis. Results: Twenty-six interventions (PTA alone n = 13, PTA and stenting n = 13) were performed in 17 patients. Interventions were performed in the superior mesenteric artery (n = 13) and celiac artery (n = 13). The re-intervention rate was 30 % (6/26). Re-interventions were performed for the superior mesenteric artery (n = 4) and celiac artery (n = 2). Cumulative overall 1-year results were primary patency rate 81 %, secondary patency rate 94 %, and survival rate 82 %. Cumulative 10-year results were primary patency rate 73 %, secondary patency rate 94 %, and survival rate 65 %. The 10-year secondary patency rate was 100 % in patients post initial stenting and 86 % in patients post initial PTA. Conclusions: Long-term follow-up post endovascular treatment for chronic mesenteric ischemia demonstrated a considerable overall secondary patency rate of 94 %. However, the long-term secondary patency rate was higher in patients post initial stenting compared to PTA alone.

Background Endovascular treatment is a first-line treatment for upper thoracic central vein obstruction (CVO). Few studies using bare venous stents (BVS) in CVO have been conducted. Purpose To evaluate the treatment performance of upper thoracic central vein stenosis between BVS and conventional bare stent (CBS) in hemodialysis patients. Methods Hemodialysis patients with upper thoracic central vein obstruction who underwent endovascular treatment at the interventional unit of our institution from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2018 were enrolled in the present study. CBS was used to treat central vein obstruction in 43 patients and BVS in 34 patients. We compared the primary patency rates and complications between the two stent types. P values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results The patient demographic data between the CBS and BVS groups were similar. The characteristics of the lesions, procedures, and complications were not significantly different between the two groups ( P > 0.05). There were no statistically significant differences of primary patency rates at three and six months between the BVS and CBS groups (94.1% vs. 86.0% and 73.5% vs. 58.1%, respectively; P > 0.05). The primary patency rate at 12 months in the BVS group was significantly higher than that in the CBS group (61.8% vs. 32.6%; P = 0.008). Conclusion Endovascular treatment of central vein obstruction with BVS provided a higher primary patency rate at 12 months than CBS.

Purpose: To report the midterm outcomes of a trial comparing self-expanding nitinol stents to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with provisional stenting in the treatment of obstructive disease in the superficial femoral and popliteal arteries. Materials and Methods: The SM-01 study ( ClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT01183117), a single-blinded, multicenter, randomized controlled trial in Japan, enrolled 105 consecutive patients with de novo or postangioplasty restenotic femoropopliteal lesions; after removing protocol violations (1 from each group), 51 patients (mean age 74±8 years; 36 men) in the stent group and 52 patients (mean age 73±8 years; 35 men) in the PTA group were included in the intention-to-treat analysis. The groups were well-matched at baseline. Patients were followed to 36 months with duplex imaging. Three-year primary patency was assessed based on a duplex-derived peak systolic velocity ratio <2.5. Freedom from clinically-driven target vessel revascularization (TVR) and target lesions revascularization (TLR) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results: The technical success rate was higher (100% vs 48%, p<0.001) and the frequency of vascular dissection was lower (4% vs 31%, p<0.001) in the stent group. The S.M.A.R.T stent group had a higher 3-year primary patency rate (73% vs 51%, p=0.033). Freedom from clinically-driven TVR and TLR were not significantly different between the groups. Conclusion: The S.M.A.R.T. stent maintained a higher primary patency rate than PTA at 3 years in this randomized trial; the need for clinically-driven revascularization was similar for both therapies.

We investigated the relationship of postoperative neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) with 6-month primary patency of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) in femoropopliteal disease using drug-coated balloon (DCB) or uncoated balloon (UCB). This retrospective study included 106 patients who received DCB (n = 44) or UCB (n = 62). The postoperative NLR was lower in the DCB group than that in the UCB group (2.60 vs 3.23; P = .004), and 6-month primary patency rate was significantly higher in DCB group than that in the UCB group (77.3% vs 53.2%; P = .011). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that the postoperative NLR was an independent predictor of 6-month primary patency after PTA in patients with femoropopliteal disease (odds ratio: 1.589, 95% confidence interval: 1.078-2.343; P = .019). The cutoff value of postoperative NLR was 3.05 for prediction of 6-month primary patency, with a sensitivity of 64.1% and specificity of 65.7%. The 6-month primary patency rate in the NLR ≤3.05 group was higher than that in the NLR >3.05 group (75.9% vs 47.9%; P = .003). In conclusion, DCB may improve early primary patency by inhibiting inflammation. A higher postoperative NLR was associated with early restenosis.

Background: Creating and maintaining a functioning arteriovenous access is essential for long-term hemodialysis patients. Transposed brachiobasilic fistula (BBF) or arteriovenous graft (AVG) becomes an option when radiocephalic or brachiocephalic fistula cannot be created or fails. This study compared the patency and complications between BBFs and AVGs among patients on hemodialysis. Methods: A retrospective study was performed in Shuang Ho Hospital, Taiwan, from November 2015 to May 2020. All the operations were done by a single surgeon. Primary outcomes were primary patency, primary-assisted patency, and secondary patency of the BBF and AVG groups. Secondary outcomes were incidence of complications and reinterventions. Results: Of the 144 consecutive patients, 20 and 124 patients underwent BBF and AVG creation, respectively. Median follow-up time was 19.2 months. Primary patency at 1 and 2 years were 67% and 19% in the BBF group and 44% and 16% in the AVG group (P = 0.126). Primary-assisted patency at 1 and 2 years were 82% and 54% in the BBF group and 54% and 30% in the AVG group (P = 0.012). Secondary patency at 1 and 2 years were 100% and 82% in the BBF group and 81% and 67% in the AVG group (P = 0.078). The incidence of complication was significantly higher in the AVG than in the BBF group (1.7 per patient-year vs 0.93, P < 0.001). Conclusion: Compared with the AVG group, BBF group showed better primary-assisted patency, less complication and intervention rates. Therefore, BBF is a reliable option for patients with exhausted cephalic veins if basilic vein is available for reconstruction.

Abstract Introduction: Arteriovenous fistulas (AVF) are the best hemodialysis vascular accesses, but their failure rate remains high. Few studies have addressed the role of the vascular surgeon's skills and the facility's practices. We aimed to study these factors, with the hypothesis that the surgeon's skills and facility practices would have an important role in primary failure and patency rates at 12 months, respectively. Methods: This was a single-center, prospective cohort study carried out from March 2005 to March 2017. Only incident patients were included. A single surgeon made all AVFs, either in the forearm (lower) or the elbow (upper). Vascular access definitions were in accordance with the North American Vascular Access Consortium. Results: We studied 113 AVFs (65% lower) from 106 patients (39% diabetics, 58% started with catheter). Time to first connection was 21.5 days (IR: 14 - 31). Only 14 AVFs (12.4%) underwent primary failure and 18 failed during the first year. Functional primary patency rate was 80.9% (SE 4.1) whereas primary unassisted patency rate, which included PF, was 70.6% (4.4). Logistic regression showed that diabetes (OR = 3.3, 95%CI 1.38 - 7.88, p = .007) and forearm location (OR = 3.03, 95CI% 1.05 - 8.76, p = 0.04) were predictors of AVF failure. Patency of lower and upper AVFs was similar in non-diabetics, while patency in diabetics with lower AVFs was under 50%. (p = 0.003). Conclusions: Results suggest that a long-lasting, suitable AVF is feasible in almost all patients. The surgeon's skills and facility practices can have an important role in the long term outcome of AVF.
