Background Early‐transjugular intrahepatic porto‐systemic shunt (TIPSS) has been
recommended in international guidelines for high‐risk patients with oesophageal variceal …

Objective Early cannulation arteriovenous grafts (ecAVGs) are proposed as an alternative to
tunneled central venous catheters (TCVCs) in patients requiring immediate vascular access …

Objectives Traditional contrast-enhanced methods for scanning blood vessels using
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or CT carry potential risks for patients with advanced …

Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred type of vascular access for maintenance
haemodialysis but it may contribute to maladaptive cardiovascular remodelling. We studied …

Although randomised controlled trials (RCT) are considered the optimal form of evidence,
there are relatively few in surgery. Surgical RCT are particularly likely to be discontinued …

Objectives Ferumoxytol is an alternative to gadolinium-based compounds as a vascular
contrast agent for magnetic resonance angiography (MRA), particularly for patients with …

Background Duplex US is performed routinely for vascular mapping prior to arteriovenous
fistula (AVF) creation for hemodialysis but cannot demonstrate the central vasculature …

Renal artery stenosis manifests as poorly-controlled hypertension, impaired renal function or
pulmonary oedema, therefore the success of treatment is dependent on indication. This …

Objective The predicted outcomes of autogenous arteriovenous (AV) hemodialysis access
creation are predominantly based on historical data; however, both the hemodialysis …

Videofluoroscopy (VF) is the 'gold standard'assessment for oropharyngeal dysphagia and
radiographers are beginning to direct this examination independently, yet little is known …
