Endovascular management of transplant renal artery stenosis: early and mid-term...
Pinto,Vanda; Lopez,Noélia; Cardoso,Ana; Henriques,Mickael; Silva,Emanuel; Silvestre,Luís; Baptista,Lucas; Guerra,José; Pedro,Luís MendesAbstract Objective: Renal graft dysfunction or worsened hypertension in renal transplanted patients may be a manifestation of graft hypoperfusion due to transplant renal artery stenosis (TRAS) or stenosis of iliac arteries proximal to renal transplant (pseudo-TRAS). Endovascular management of TRAS has been increasingly used to preserve renal graft function. With this study, we aim to evaluate the impact of endo...
Transplante renal em dador vivo - um caso vascular complexo
Pinto,Vanda; Ministro,Augusto; Silvestre,Luís; Pedro,Luís Mendes; Lopez,Noélia; Guerra,José; Baptista,LucasIntrodução: A presença de múltiplos vasos renais é frequente na população geral e, quando presente num dador, aumenta a complexidade da cirurgia de transplantação renal, aumentando o risco de complicações. Embora a transplantação de enxertos de dador cadáver com estas características seja aceite, o mesmo procedimento em dador vivo permanece controverso. O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar o caso de uma cirur...
Life-saving vascular access in vascular capital exhaustion: single center exper...
Pereira,Marta; Lopez,Noélia; Godinho,Iolanda; Jorge,Sofia; Nogueira,Estela; Neves,Fernando; Fortes,Alice; Costa,António G.Abstract Introduction: Intra-atrial catheter (IAC) placement through an open surgical approach has emerged as a life-saving technique in hemodialysis (HD) patients with vascular access exhaustion. Objective: To assess the complications of IAC placement, as well as patient and vascular access survival after this procedure. Methods: The authors retrospectively analyzed all seven patients with vascular capital exh...
Hyperinfection syndrome with hypereosinophilia and chronic kidney disease: case...
Lopez,Noélia; Fortes,Alice; Nogueira,Estela; Godinho,Iolanda; Jorge,Sofia; Marques,Tiago; Fernandes,Paulo; Costa,António GChronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated to significant infection incidence and severity, the cause of death of, approximately, 20% of end-stage renal disease patients. Close to 80% of all infections in these patients can be related to organ or tissue other than vascular access, reflecting immune system dysfunction related to several mechanisms. Strongyloides stercoralis is an endemic nematode found especiall...
