...Introduction Pediatric hematologists and oncologists are becoming increasingly involved in the management of patients with vascular anomalies – either in prescribing targeted medical therapies (e.g., sirolimus, trametinib, alpelisib, etc.) or in dealing with the hemostatic and thrombotic...

... vascular perfusion/flow between the superficial and deep retinal capillary plexus in retinal vascular disorders. The extent of macular ischemia, vascular density, and the status of flow in the radial peripapillary capillaries can be evaluated and quantified with OCTA. The foveal avascular zone...

... Abstract Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with a wide spectrum of microvascular complications affecting both the systemic and cerebral circulation. Current evidence suggests that cerebral small-vessel disease plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of dementia and vascular damage induced...

... Abstract Intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) agents is the standard care for the treatment of diabetic macular oedema (DME). Anti-VEGF agents have been proven to be effective for DME based on the results of large clinical trials. However, a concern...

...-aided analysis, wider retinal venules and narrower arterioles were found to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). For chronic kidney disease, narrower retinal arteriolar calibre, smaller retinal vascular fractal dimensions, arteriovenous nicking and opacification were...

... Abstract Background: An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is considered the gold standard modality of vascular access (VA) for maintenance hemodialysis (HD) because of its superior patency, few complications, provision of high quality of life, and low risk of patient mortality. The rapid growth...

... Abstract Background: Vascular calcification (VC) is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) including end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The pathogenesis of VC is complex, resulting in increased arterial stiffening, which is associated with cardiovascular mortality. In addition...

... Abstract Vascular calcification is common in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). In addition to traditional cardiovascular risk factors, ESRD patients also have a number of nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors that may play an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular...

... Abstract Background: There are several ways to gain vascular access, including creating an internal shunt, superficialization of the brachial artery, and use of an artificial blood vessel or a catheter. This article describes recent advances and future directions in the field of vascular...

... Abstract Continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is an important and widely used adjuvant treatment in critically ill patients. However, any CRRT protocol can be adhered to only when the technique is correctly installed and functioning properly. Within this context, an appropriate vascular...

... Vascular neoplasms comprise a wide spectrum of entities, including varieties of benign hemangioma, low-grade/intermediate vascular neoplasms, such as pseudomyogenic hemangioendothelioma, and malignant vascular neoplasm, such as epithelioid hemangioendothelioma and angiosarcoma. Cytologic...
