J. bras. nefrol; 42 (2,supl.1), 2020
ABSTRACT Vascular accesses for hemodialysis are considered the patient's lifeline and their maintenance is essential for treatment continuity. Following the example of institutions in other countries affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, the Brazilian Society of Nephrology developed these guidelines for hea...

Effect of local papaverine on arteriovenous fistula maturation in patients with end-stage renal disease

J. bras. nefrol; 41 (2), 2019
Abstract Background: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation is one of the main concerns in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and finding a strategy for increasing success rate and accelerating fistula maturation is valuable. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of papaverine inje...

Are high flow arteriovenous accesses associated with worse haemodialysis?

J. bras. nefrol; 40 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: An arteriovenous (AV) access flow (Qa) of 400 mL/min is usually sufficient for an effective hemodialysis (HD), but some accesses continue developing and become high flow accesses (HFA). Some authors postulated that an HFA might shift a significant portion of dialyzed blood from th...

Stent Placement in a Neonate with Sano Modification of the Norwood using Semi-Elective Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation

Arq. bras. cardiol; 107 (6), 2016
Abstract Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a well-established tool of cardiopulmonary circulatory support for cardiopulmonary failure in children and adults. It has been used as a supportive strategy during interventional procedures in neonates with congenital heart disease. Herein, we descri...
