Basics for performing a high-quality color Doppler sonography of the vascular access
Mario MeolaĀ , Jose IbeasĀ , Gianfranco LasalleĀ and Ilaria Petrucci AbstractIn the last years, the systematic use of ultrasound mapping of the upper limb vascular network before the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) implantation, access maturation, and clinical management of late complications is widespread and
Advances in vascular anatomy and pathophysiology using high resolution and multiparametric sonography
Petrucci Ilaria , Meola MarioĀ and Fiorina Ilaria AbstractB-mode and Color Doppler are the first-line imaging modalities in cardiovascular diseases. However, conventional ultrasound (US) provides a lower spatial and temporal resolution (70ā100 frames per second) compared to ultrafast technology which acquires several
The role of Doppler ultrasonography in vascular access surveillanceā controversies continue
Jan Malik, Carlo Lomonte, Mario Meola , Cora de Bont , Robert Shahverdyan, Joris I Rotmans , Francois Saucy, Tamara Jemcov and Jose Ibeas Abstract Chronic hemodialysis therapy required regular entry into the patientās blood stream with adequate flow. The use of
Current role of ultrasound in hemodialysis access evaluation
Meola Mario , Jose Ibeas and Jan Malik Abstract JVA The Journal of Vascular Access Physical examination (PE) is considered the backbone before vascular access (VA) placement, during maturation period and for follow-up. However, it may be inadequate in identifying suitable vasculature, mainly
Ultrasound evaluation of access complications: Thrombosis, aneurysms, pseudoaneurysms and infections
Mario Meola , Antonio Marciello , Gianfranco Di Salle and Ilaria Petrucci Abstract JVA The Journal of Vascular Access Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) complications are classified based on fistula outcomes. This review aims to update colour Doppler (CD) and pulse wave Doppler (PWD) roles
