RESUMO

DAVF is an abnormal connection between arteries and veins, where supply is mainly through branches arising from the external carotid artery. A 30 years old male had multiple episodes of seizures and progressive behavioral and cognitive decline, inattentionand disorientation to time, place and person, along with ptosis and ophthalmoplegia in the right eye. DSA provided a definitive diagnosis of hypervascular Dural AV fistula at the right transverse sigmoid junction with significant cortical venous hypertension. Through femoral access, both underwent transarterial embolization through the Middle Meningeal branch of the right external carotid artery using onyx, resulting in complete occlusion of fistula and resolution of venous hypertension. Post embolisation,cognitive function assessment revealed increased attention span and improved orientation with time,place and person. Thus, DAVF can be one of the rare but reversible causes of dementia. Early diagnosis and treatment may help to dramatically improve patients� clinical condition and minimize long-term disability

RESUMO

Background Arteriovenous (AV) fistula thrombosis is a serious complication in patients undergoing hemodialysis, often presenting with symptoms of venous hypertension, failure to dialysis and uremic symptoms. Treatment is aimed to provide symptomatic relief and to maintain hemodialysis access site patency. Aim To describe our initial experience in the endovascular treatment of lower limb AV dialysis access (AV fistula) thrombosis and/or obstruction in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Settings and design This was a retrospective study carried out in a tertiary care center. Study duration was 24 months. Follow-up was variable. Materials and methods Two patients with chronic kidney disease with stage 5 renal failure undergoing hemodialysis presented with lower limb arteriovenous dialysis access (arteriovenous fistula) failure between July 2014 and September 2016. Both the patients underwent endovascular treatment and were analyzed retrospectively. Results and conclusion Both the patient underwent successful endovascular treatment for the failure of the lower limb AV dialysis access thrombosis and/or obstruction. One patient had minimal dye extravasation during manipulation of the guide wire, which ceased spontaneously. On follow-up, both patients maintained patency of the dialysis access and are undergoing successful hemodialysis. One patient had a recurrence of the thrombosis of the fistula at 9th month of the follow-up. Endovascular treatment was tried but we could not succeed. However, we found endovascular treatment safe and effective in treating AV fistula failures.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of topical lidocaine cream on pain and anxiety during the AV fistula puncture among hemodialysis patients. METHODS: The study employed one group repeated measurement design. The data were collected from 50 hemodialysis patients who received AV fistula puncture. The topical lidocaine cream was applied 30 minutes before the puncture. The data were measured total 3 times (T1=without lidocaine, T2=2% lidocaine, T3=5% lidocaine). Pain was measured by VAS and a behavioral checklist. Anxiety was measured by Korean manual of SCL-90-R. RESULTS: Patients with 5% lidocaine cream reported significantly lower of VAS pain score than those with 2% lidocaine and without lidocaine. Patients with 2% lidocaine cream reported significantly lower of behavioral pain scores than those without lidocaine, but less effective than 5% lidocaine cream. Patients with 2% lidocaine cream reported significantly lower of anxiety scores than those without lidocaine, but less effective than 5% lidocaine cream. CONCLUSION: Topical application of lidocaine cream for 30 minutes before AV fistula puncture significantly decreased pain and anxiety among hemodialysis patients. Specifically 5% lidocaine was more effective than 2% lidocaine for both pain and anxiety.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Coronary arteriovenous(AV) fistula is a rare congenital disease, and seldom produce symptoms during childhood. However late complications can occur including congestive heart failure, myocardial ischemia, and bacterial endocarditis. Therefore surgical repair is recommended even if the patients are asymptomatic. In these days many investigators are interested in transcatheter embolization because of high procedural success rate without risks and morbidity associated with cardiac surgery. METHODS: Five patients(4 females and 1 male) of coronary AV fistula were treated with transcatheter coil embolization. All had symptom of chest pain. In coronary angiograms fistulous tracts were originated from left anterior descending artery(LAD) and drained to main pulmonary artery(MPA) in 4 cases. The other case had abnormal vessel from left circumflex artery(LCX) to bronchial artery. Transcatherter coil embolization were done with Judkins left guiding catheter, 018 inch Tracker or 3F Microferret catheter, and 018 inch coils. RESULTS: The fistula tracts were completely occluded in 3 cases after coil emboilzation. In 2 cases with multiple fistular vessels, major fistula were occluded, but minor vessels remained. There were no procedure related complications. CONCLUSION: Transcatheter coil embolization may be an effective treatment modality in coronary AV fistula with excellent result and minimal complications.
