Article Abstract
Central venous occlusions are a frequent problem in hemodialysis patients. We describe the case of a patient with end-stage vascular access in whom we successfully inserted a direct intra-atrial dialysis line during coronary artery bypass grafting. This technique could be a significant contribution to patients in whom alternative vascular access options are exhausted.

Optimizing dialysis vascular access: moving beyond Fistula First.

For many years, the vascular access guidelines recommended placement of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in preference to arteriovenous grafts (AVGs) because AVFs had superior long-term patency, required fewer interventions to maintain patency, and were associated with lower costs of vascular access management. However, subsequent research has questioned the "Fistula First strategy" (placing an AVF whenever the vascular anatomy is suitable). First, AVF non-maturation is substantial (30-40%), and even higher among women, older patients and those with peripheral vascular disease.

Introduction: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) requires reliable vascular access for medication, transfusion, and blood sampling, which often involves painful venipuncture. This prospective study evaluated a novel dual peripherally inserted central venous catheter (PICC) technique to reduce venipuncture frequency in allo-HSCT recipients.
Methods: The study enrolled 29 allo-HSCT recipients.
Turn-Over Technique Using a Balloon Guiding Catheter for Stable Transfemoral Neuroendovascular Therapy in Type III Aortic Arch with Severe Vessel Tortuosity.

Objective: Endovascular treatment of cerebrovascular diseases can be challenging in patients with difficult access routes. We describe a turn-over technique using a balloon guiding catheter (BGC) via the transfemoral approach to perform neuroendovascular treatment.
Case Presentation: An 80-year-old female with a recurrent right middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm after coil embolization underwent successful stent-assisted coiling via the transfemoral approach.
Venous Thromboembolism Risk Assessment in Prolonged Fasting During Ramadan: The Global Ramadan Free Thrombosis Project.

Background Fasting during the month of Ramadan is practiced by over a billion Muslims worldwide. This religious observance, which involves complete abstention from food and fluids during daylight hours, may contribute to dehydration and increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), particularly in hot climates. Despite this theoretical concern, limited clinical evidence exists on the actual incidence and risk of VTE associated with prolonged fasting.

Ophthalmology, Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, Liverpool, GBR.
Objective To determine real-world clinical outcomes (including vision, anatomy and durability) of intravitreal faricimab (IVF) in year two (up to mean follow-up of 75 ± 15 weeks, range: 52-103 weeks) of treating diabetic macular oedema (DMO). Secondary objectives included assessing changes in diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity, the incidence of epiretinal proliferation (ERP)/epiretinal membrane (ERM), and safety. Methodology This is a single-centre retrospective observational study.
