Although AVA is preferred, maturation and functional patency after creation can be a challenge to achieve. A significant proportion of AVAs fail to mature, require reinterventions to achieve maturation, or cannot be successfully cannulated and used reliably for hemodialysis, despite physiologic maturation. Thus, most patients on hemodialysis require multiple AVA procedures throughout their lifetime. A thoughtful and deliberate strategy to create, maintain, survey, and troubleshoot AVA is required. In this review, autogenous AVA maturation, maintenance, and surveillance strategies to prolong the life of AVA for patients requiring hemodialysis are discussed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51153,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Vascular Surgery","volume":"37 4","pages":"Pages 387-393"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142830716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Post renal transplantation, hemodialysis may be needed due to delayed graft function or transplantation failure. This review aimed to summarize current evidence on the impact of maintaining versus ligating AV access on renal function and cardiovascular outcomes post transplantation. A comprehensive review of literature was conducted, analyzing studies on the effects of AVF and AV graft maintenance or ligation on renal and cardiovascular outcomes in patients post transplantation. Evidence indicates that maintaining AVF post transplantation is associated with higher estimated glomerular filtration rate and better renal function retention, but poses risks for cardiovascular complications, such as left ventricular hypertrophy. Ligation of AVF is linked to improved cardiovascular outcomes, including reduced N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels, but may lead to a greater decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate. No significant difference in long-term renal allograft survival was observed between maintaining and ligating AV access. The decision to maintain or ligate AV access in patients post renal transplantation should be individualized, considering both renal function preservation and cardiovascular health. Although maintaining AVF may benefit renal function, it poses cardiovascular risks, whereas ligation can mitigate these risks without significantly affecting allograft survival.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":51153,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Vascular Surgery","volume":"37 4","pages":"Pages 407-411"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142830455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hemodialysis Reliable Outflow grafts as well as various configurations of lower extremity arteriovenous fistulae and grafts can be utilized. For most alternative HD access options, there is a paucity of data for long-term patency, cost, and risk of infectious or ischemic complications compared to traditional options.

Assessment of device behavior inside patient anatomy is often difficult, and available tools, such as 3-dimensional–printed models, have several limitations. Digital twin (DT) technology has been used successfully in automotive and aerospace industries and applied recently to endovascular aortic aneurysm repair. Artificial intelligence allows the treatment of large amounts of data, and its use in medicine is increasing rapidly. The aim of this review was to present the current status of DTs combined with artificial intelligence for planning endovascular procedures. Patient-specific DTs of the aorta are generated from preoperative computed tomography and integrate aorta mechanical properties using finite element analysis. The same methodology is used to generate 3-dimensional models of aortic stent-grafts and simulate their deployment. Post processing of DT models is then performed to generate multiple parameters related to stent-graft oversizing and apposition. Machine learning algorithms allow parameters to be computed into a synthetic index to predict Type 1A endoleak risk. Other planning and sizing applications include custom-made fenestrated and branched stent-grafts for complex aneurysms. DT technology is also being investigated for planning peripheral endovascular procedures, such as carotid artery stenting. DT provides detailed information on endovascular device behavior. Analysis of DT-derived parameters with machine learning algorithms may improve accuracy in predicting complications, such as Type 1A endoleaks.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":51153,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in Vascular Surgery","volume":"37 3","pages":"Pages 306-313"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2024-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141853310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
