Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Vascular Fistula:

1.	Prostaglandins DIBA 02/01/2014 - "In-hospital mortality was 28% related to sepsis (n=6), PGD (n=3), haemorrhage (n=2), broncho-vascular fistula (n=1), and multiorgan failure (n=2). "
2.	Polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon)FDA Link 04/01/1979 - "Secondary techniques include reverse fistula, vascular graft AV fistulas using expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (E-PTFE), and arterioarterial (AA) jump graft. "
3.	S-(1,2,2-trichlorovinyl)-L-cysteineIBA 03/25/2023 - "The objective of this case is to report an endovascular occlusion of an acquired vascular fistula using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II. Also, it is to review the available literature on risk factors, pathophysiology, and related management strategies about complications of the tunneled central venous catheter (TCVC). "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Stents 04/01/2013 - "To highlight a potentially fatal complication of broncho-vascular fistula arising from the self expanding metallic stent (SEMS) placement. " 04/01/2013 - "Broncho-vascular fistulas from self-expanding metallic stents: A retrospective case review." 01/01/2021 - "Asynchronous bilateral ureteric stent-related vascular fistula is an uncommon scenario, but it should be suspected in the presence of hematuria following ureteral stent replacement." 01/01/2016 - "Increase in the treatment of esophageal strictures by stent insertion increases the risk of stent-related vascular fistula. "
2.	Renal Dialysis (Hemodialysis) 01/01/2020 - "Multimodality interventions, including both percutaneous and surgical approaches, are paramount in maintaining vascular fistula and graft patency in hemodialysis patients. " 03/25/2023 - "Endovascular Closure of an Acquired Vascular Fistula, an Uncommon Complication of a Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheter: A Case Report." 01/01/2017 - "Surgically placed vascular fistulas, as an aid to hemodialysis prior to kidney transplant, have extended many lives, while post-surgical restenosis closure of the fistula by smooth muscle cells affects many lives. "
3.	Catheters 03/25/2023 - "Endovascular Closure of an Acquired Vascular Fistula, an Uncommon Complication of a Tunneled Hemodialysis Catheter: A Case Report." 03/27/2008 - "To commence dialysis (peritoneal dialysis or haemodialysis), access is required in the form of a fistula, vascular catheter or peritoneal catheter, and changes in body image will ensue, no matter what treatment option is selected. "
4.	Ligation 09/01/2011 - "For animal models, naturally flow-disturbed regions such as branched or curved arterial regions as well as surgically created models, including arterio-venous fistulas, vascular grafts, perivascular cuffs, and complete, incomplete, or partial ligation of arteries, are used. " 11/10/1947 - "Jugulo-carotid aneurysm; ligature of the vascular fistula followed by endoaneurism."
5.	Central Venous Catheters 03/25/2023 - "The objective of this case is to report an endovascular occlusion of an acquired vascular fistula using an Amplatzer Vascular Plug II. Also, it is to review the available literature on risk factors, pathophysiology, and related management strategies about complications of the tunneled central venous catheter (TCVC). "
