Principles of treating enlarging pseudoaneurysm in a dialysis arteriovenous graft
Abstract
The arteriovenous graft (AVG) is one of the major types of permanent vascular access used to provide hemodialysis. Complications encountered with AVG use include stenosis, infection, thrombosis, and pseudoaneurysm formation. Venous outflow stenosis along with frequent needle cannulation at the same site can lead to breakdown of the graft material, resulting in pseudoaneurysm formation. In the following case, we illustrate common management principles used to treat pseudoaneurysms. While stent‐grafts have been utilized for pseudoaneurysm repair, stent‐graft usage is not always optimal. Surgical management may b...

Adjustment of target weight based on absolute blood volume reduces the frequency of intradialytic morbid events
Discussion: Adjustment of target weight based on information of Vs, Vo, and IME appears as a feasible approach to reduce the frequency of IME. (Source: Hemodialysis International)

Pregnancy on short ‐daily home hemodialysis using low dialysate flow rate: A new hope for the end‐stage renal disease patients
Conclusion: Short‐daily hemodialysis using low dialysate flow rate during pregnancy seems to allow a good control of uremia and blood pressure without requiring a major increase of weekly dialysis duration. Therefore, it could become an alternative to other hemodialysis programs while allowing the patients to continue their treatment at home. However, other studies are necessary in order to define the position of this procedure during pregnancy. (Source: Hemodialysis International)
