Gaza: restoration of the opening of an artery and artificial vein in a patient with renal failure

Noha Muslim
The cardiac catheterization team led by Dr. Dr. Mohamed Habib, Consultant and Head of the Department of Cardiology at Al-Shifa Medical Complex, confirmed the restoration of an open link (arteriovenous-industrial) at an elderly patient with renal failure by interventional catheterization by removing blood clotting from the outside of the body by means of a special catheter. The narrowing of the place that led to coagulation by the balloon, which led to the resumption of link work.

Habib stressed the need to monitor these links and detect early shrinkage and conduct an assessment before the onset of blood clotting, explaining that less than 50% of these links continue to function after three years of bleeding. ;installation.

He described d. Habib, this quality process, is being carried out for the first time because the reopening of the interventional catheter link compared to traditional surgery has many advantages, the most important of which is the absence of complications and the lower incidence of infection. bacterial and allows the patient to use the immediate link in the dialysis process.

Mohamed Helles, Congenital Heart Disorders Consultant, Professor Musa Abu Zour, radiologist and radiologist Radwan Khalaf, participated in the operation in collaboration with Ghazi Al Yazji, Consultant and Head of the Kidney Disease Unit.

He emphasized d. Habib that the arterial venous junction used in dialysis is the lifeline of patients with renal failure, because it allows to collect large amounts of blood continuously during the dialysis session; it allows to filter as much blood as possible and the patient's blood outside the body and the purification of waste and toxic substances, then the blood is returned to the patient.

It should be noted that there are two types of bond, where the artery is connected directly to the vein (natural connection) or using an industrial plastic tube (industrial connectivity ), and the main reasons for the failure of this binding are tight or blood coagulation. Link.
