Hemodialysis I: Introduction01:25

Hemodialysis I: Introduction

Hemodialysis (HD) is a medical treatment that artificially removes waste products, excess fluids, and toxins from the blood when the kidneys are no longer able to perform these functions effectively. In this process, blood is filtered through a semipermeable membrane, allowing for the selective removal of waste while preserving necessary components like blood cells and proteins. Hemodialysis is typically performed in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or severe kidney...

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...

Pulmonary Embolism II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

Venous Thrombosis I: Introduction

Venous thrombosis, the most common disorder of the veins, involves the formation of a thrombus or blood clot associated with vein inflammation. It can be classified as either superficial vein thrombosis or deep vein thrombosis.Superficial Vein Thrombosis: This involves the formation of a thrombus in a superficial vein, usually the greater or lesser saphenous vein. Though less severe than deep vein thrombosis (DVT), SVT can lead to complications if untreated.Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): This...
Veins of Head and Neck01:19

Veins of Head and Neck

The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...
Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology01:29

Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology

A hemorrhagic stroke develops when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to escape into the surrounding brain tissue, as in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or into the subarachnoid space, as in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because the skull is a rigid compartment, the sudden presence of extravascular blood rapidly increases intracranial pressure and compresses adjacent neural structures, leading to immediate tissue injury and impaired cerebral perfusion.Mass Effect and Primary...

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Neurology

Background:

  • Scalp arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) are abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the scalp.
  • These conditions can lead to significant complications if left untreated.
  • Embolization is a common treatment modality for vascular malformations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a specific embolization technique for treating scalp AVFs.
  • To describe a modified transarterial embolization approach for scalp AVFs.

Main Methods:

  • Four male patients with scalp AVFs underwent embolization.
  • A transarterial approach involving direct puncture and NBCA (N-butyl-cyanoacrylate) embolization was utilized in three cases.
  • Key procedural steps included superselective angiography, precise microcatheter placement, flow control with a balloon catheter, and controlled NBCA injection to prevent venous migration.

Main Results:

  • Complete cure of scalp AVFs was achieved in all four treated patients.
  • No major complications were reported, with only transient postoperative pain observed.
  • The technique proved effective even when a transfemoral approach was not feasible.

Conclusions:

  • Direct puncture embolization of scalp AVFs using NBCA is a safe and effective treatment.
  • This method provides a valuable therapeutic option, particularly when conventional transfemoral approaches are not possible.
  • The described technique ensures secure occlusion and minimizes risks of embolic material migration.
