Contrast-induced nephropathy: A dilemma between loss of neurons or nephrons in the setting of endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke.
CONCLUSION: Contrast-induced nephropathy is a relatively common complication after endovascular treatment of acute ischemic stroke and is associated with worse outcome in patients with this condition. However, there is no increase in the frequency of hemodialysis after the use of iodinated contrast medium. PMID: 31645156 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Intracranial and visceral arterial embolization of a cardiac myxoma that was treated with endovascular stent-retriever therapy.
We report a case of a ruptured left atrial myxoma with multiple synchronous sites of embolization, including the intracranial cerebral (left middle cerebral artery (MCA) and basilar), visceral (renal, superior mesenteric artery (SMA)) and peripheral circulatory beds (aorta and lower extremities). This synchronous embolization resulted in a catastrophic neurologic and systemic event. An intracranial stent retriever was used to restore cerebral circulation in the symptomatic left MCA distribution, which resulted in resolution of the acute neurologic deficits. Endovascular and open surgical interventions were later performed ...

Early High-Dose Rosuvastatin for Contrast-Induced Nephropathy Prevention in Acute Coronary Syndrome Results From the PRATO-ACS Study (Protective Effect of Rosuvastatin and Antiplatelet Therapy On Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury and Myocardial Damage in Patients With Acute Coronary Syndrome)
ConclusionsHigh-dose rosuvastatin given on admission to statin-naïve patients with ACS who are scheduled for an early invasive procedure can prevent CI-AKI and improve short-term clinical outcome. (Statin Contrast Induced Nephropathy Prevention [PRATO-ACS]; NCT01185938)

Declotting the Thrombosed Access
Because a patent access is the lifeline for a dialysis patient, access declotting is extremely important. Before embarking on a declot, it is important to evaluate the patient for potential contraindications such as pulmonary hypertension, right-to-left shunts and access infection in order to be able to avoid potential complications such as symptomatic pulmonary embolism, stroke, and sepsis. Multiple methods to perform a percutaneous declot exist. Four common methods are described here. We also discuss how to avoid causing an arterial embolism and how to treat it if it does occur.

Assessment of right ventricular dysfunction in end-stage renal disease patients on maintenance haemodialysis by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging
Conclusions In ESRD patients on maintenance HD, RV function was impaired and associated with the deterioration of LV function. More importantly, the duration of dialysis was considered as a risk factor independently associated with RV dysfunction.
