Vascular access in patients on haemodialysis Open
The number of patients on haemodialysis (HD) is increasing worldwide. An efficient HD treatment and, thus, better survival rely on stable and functional vascular access. Several are available: an arteriovenous fistula, an arteriovenous gra…

Far infrared treatment on the arteriovenous fistula induces changes in sVCAM and sICAM in patients on hemodialysis Open
Introduction There is a substantial risk of developing stenosis and dysfunction in the arteriovenous fistula (AVF) in patients on hemodialysis (HD). Far infrared radiation (FIR) is a non-invasive local intervention with a potentially benef…

Intravascular Ultrasound as a Valuable Tool in Iliac Endofibrosis Diagnostics Open
Iliac endofibrosis (IE) may cause lower limb ischaemia in younger endurance athletes (cyclists, triathletes, and long distance runners) as a result of subintimal fibrosis of predominantly the external iliac artery. Typical symptoms are rev…

Effect of far infrared therapy on arteriovenous fistula maturation, survival and stenosis in hemodialysis patients, a randomized, controlled clinical trial: the FAITH on fistula trial Open
Background An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access for hemodialysis treatment. After creation many of the AVFs will never mature or if functioning will need an intervention within 1 year due to an AVF stenosis. Stud…

A Near Infrared Spectroscopy-Based Test of Calf Muscle Function in Patients with Peripheral Arterial Disease Open
Background The study aims to test a new, simple, and reliable apparatus and procedure for the diagnostics and treatment evaluation of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The test apparatus involves near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) of a mai…
