The brachial artery-brachial vein fistula: expanding the possibilities for autogenous fistulae.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: The National Kidney Foundation Dialysis Outcomes and Quality Initiative recommends autogenous access for new dialysis procedures. The patient requiring hemodialysis with inadequate superficial arm veins represents a formidable challenge ... Read more...

Pocket Doppler and vascular laboratory equipment yield comparable results for ankle brachial index measurement.

5 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: The ankle brachial index (ABI) is a well-established tool for screening and diagnosis of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). In this study we assessed the validity of ABI determination using a pocket Doppler device compared with ... Read more...

Skin autofluorescence, a marker for advanced glycation end product accumulation, is associated with arterial stiffness in patients with end-stage renal disease.

29 Sep 2008 Elevated cardiovascular mortality has been shown to be associated with increased arterial stiffness. However, the contribution of tissue accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) to increased arterial stiffness is unclear. We examined ... Read more...
