Abstract
Iatrogenic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is a complication accompanying venous and arterial puncture. Herein we report a case of ligation closure of an iatrogenic AVF in the brachial artery after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for the patient with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). A 68-year-old woman presented with a history of several coronary angiographies (CAG) and PCI through the right brachial artery. After PCI, the patient experienced a thrill in the right elbow. Two years later, the patient initiated hemodialysis (HD) using a temporary HD catheter for ESKD and congestive cardiac failure. Ultrasonography and computed tomographic angiography revealed an iatrogenic AVF between the right brachial artery and the medial brachial vein. Blood flow in the brachial artery was 760 mL/min. However, the iatrogenic AVF was unusable as vascular access for HD, and prior ligation closure of the iatrogenic AVF was performed, considering the risk of cardiac failure due to double AVFs after the creation of a new AVF for HD. Subsequently, a new radial-cephalic AVF was created in the left forearm. Therefore, clinicians should consider the possibility of iatrogenic AVF in patients with ESKD having a history of CAG or PCI.

Coronary Artery Disease Assessment and Cardiovascular Events in Middle-Aged Patients on Hemodialysis. Mayo Clin Proc 2024; 99:411-423. [PMID: 38159095 DOI: 10.1016/j.mayocp.2023.05.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2022] [Revised: 04/03/2023] [Accepted: 05/01/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore whether, in younger patients on dialysis with longer life expectancy, assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) could identify individuals at higher risk of events and revascularization might improve outcomes in selected patients contrary to what had been observed in elderly patients. METHODS From August 1997 to January 2019, 2265 patients with stage 5 chronic kidney disease were prospectively referred for cardiovascular assessment. For this study, we selected 1374 asymptomatic patients aged between 18 and 64 years. After clinical risk stratification and cardiac scintigraphy by single-photon emission computed tomography, 866 patients underwent coronary angiography. The primary end point was the composite incidence of nonfatal/fatal major adverse cardiovascular events during a follow-up period of 0.1 to 189.7 months (median, 26 months). The secondary end point was all-cause mortality. RESULTS The primary end point occurred in 327 (23.8%) patients. Clinically stratified high-risk patients had a 3-fold increased risk of the primary end point. The prevalence of abnormal findings on perfusion scans was 29.2% (n=375), and significant CAD was found in 449 (51.8%) of 866 patients who underwent coronary angiography. An abnormal finding on myocardial perfusion scan and the presence of CAD were significantly associated with a 74% and 22% increased risk of cardiovascular events, respectively. In patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting (n=99), there was an 18% reduction in the risk of all-cause death relative to patients receiving medical treatment (P=.03). CONCLUSION In this cohort of middle-aged, asymptomatic patients on dialysis, assessment of CAD identified individuals at higher risk of events, and coronary intervention was associated with reducing the risk of death in selected patients.

Abstract
Background There are limited data about the prevalence of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and the findings of CV workup among kidney transplant (KTx) recipients (KTRs) in Saudi Arabia. Methods A single-center retrospective study of KTRs who underwent KTx from 2017 to 2020 was performed. We reviewed the prevalence of CV risk factors and the results of the pre-KTx CV workup which was derived from the American Heart Association guidelines. Results We included 254 KTRs. The mean age was 43.1 ± 15.9 years, and 55.5% were men and 79.5% were living-donor KTRs. Pre-emptive KTx was 9.8%, peritoneal dialysis was 11.8%, and hemodialysis was 78.3% (arteriovenous fistula: 33.1% versus hemodialysis catheter: 66.9%). The mean dialysis vintage was 4.8 ± 3.3 years for deceased-donor KTRs versus 2.4 ± 2.6 years for living-donor KTRs. CV risk factors were hypertension: 76%, diabetes: 40.6% (type 1 : 25.2% versus type 2 : 74.7%), hyperlipidemia (low-density lipoprotein >2.6 mmol/L): 40.2%, coronary artery disease (CAD): 12.6%, smoking: 9.1%, peripheral vascular disease: 2.8%, and cerebral vascular disease: 2.4%. The prevalence of obesity stage 1 was 19.7% and obesity stage 2 was 4%. Left ventricular hypertrophy was present in 38.5%. The ejection fraction was abnormal (<55%) in 22%. Abnormal wall motion was present in 34 patients (13.4%). A cardiac (PET-CT) stress test was conducted on 129 patients (50.8%) which showed abnormal perfusion in 37 patients (28.7%). Out of those who required PET-CT, 18.6% had a coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) of more than 400, 41.8% had a CACS of zero, 29.4% had a CACS of 1-100, and 14.7% had a CACS of 100-400. Coronary angiogram was required in only 41 patients (16.1%), 12 (29.3%) required coronary interventions, 25 (61%) were treated medically, and 4 (9.8%) did not have any CAD. CT scans of pelvic arteries were performed in 118 patients (46.5%). It showed moderate or severe calcifications in only 7 patients (5.9%), whereas it was normal in 97 patients (82.2%), or it showed only mild calcifications in 14 patients (11.9%). Conclusion This study outlines the prevalence of CV risk factors and the findings of the pretransplant CV workup among KTx candidates who underwent KTx. Multicenter national studies will be helpful to validate the generalizability of these findings.

Abstract
In 2020, we identified and screened over 490 peer-reviewed publications on pancreatic transplantation, over 500 on intestinal transplantation, and over 5000 on kidney transplantation. The liver transplantation section specially focused on clinical trials and systematic reviews published in 2020 and featured selected articles. This review highlights noteworthy literature pertinent to anesthesiologists and critical care physicians caring for patients undergoing abdominal organ transplantation. We explore a wide range of topics, including COVID-19 and organ transplantation, risk factors and outcomes, pain management, artificial intelligence, robotic donor surgery, and machine perfusion.
