Abstract No. 211 Prior Central Venous Catheter Placement and Age Are Associated with Re-intervention After Permanent Hemodialysis Access Creation
Arteriovenous (AV) fistulas and grafts are essential for long-term hemodialysis access in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, complications and access failure often necessitate re-intervention, highlighting the need to understand the factors associated with decreased primary patency.

Abstract No. 214 Analysis of Adverse Sedation Events in Patients Undergoing Arteriovenous Hemodialysis Access Interventions
Hemodialysis-dependent patients referred for angiographic evaluation of their dysfunctional arteriovenous access ( “fistulograms”) often have multiple risk factors for adverse events with sedation given frequent comorbidities, abnormal fluid status, and electrolyte derangements. Since outpatient-based labs are less-well equipped to manage sedation events, determining the optimal site of service for these pat ients is important. The purpose of this study was to characterize the frequency and risk factors of adverse events with moderate sedation in patients undergoing fistulograms. (Source: Journal of Vascular and Interv...

Abstract No. 217 Embolization of Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations with the Terumo Azur Vascular Plug Device: Initial Results in a Cohort of Treated Patients
Endovascular embolization of pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) was historically accomplished with embolic coils. With the advent of vascular plug devices and nidus filling techniques, the endovascular treatment of PAVMs has evolved to incorporate a growing diversity of devices and technical approaches. The purpose of this study is to assess the intraprocedural technical success of PAVM embolization and PAVM persistence on follow up imaging utilizing only the Terumo Azur vascular plug in a limited cohort of patients.

Abstract No. 224 Embolization of Spinal Cerebrospinal Fluid Dural-Venous Fistulae for Management of Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension
Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is characterized by CSF hypovolemia resulting in a variety of symptoms which are dominated by chronic orthostatic headache. SIH is caused by a dural defect leading to a CSF leak or by a CSF dural-venous fistula, a pathologic connection between the CSF-containing spinal nerve root sleeve and an adjacent radicular vein. The purpose of this study was to report outcomes after transvenous embolization of spinal CSF dural-venous fistulae for management of SIH.
