case: dialysis graft thrombectomy + outlet patch revision


left upper arm dialysis graft occlusion

severe intimal hyperplasia caused stricture of vessel lumen

Patch angioplasty to augment the lumen


History:
A patient of ESRD on regular dialysis. Acute thrombosis of her left upper arm graft was noted 3 days ago and emergent thrombectomy was performed. Unfortunately, recurrent thrombosis was noted right after the surgery. She was scheduled for recannalization of the graft.
Operative finding:
The patient's left upper arm dialysis ePTFE graft was total thrombosed. The graft outelt was explored directly and severe intimal hyperplaia of the graft-venous junction was noted. Apparently, the hyperplasia had lead into severe stenosis of the outflow tract thus in turn caused the graft repeated thrombosis.
My operative strategy:
In addition to the thrombectomy of the graft using Fogarty thrombectomy catheter, I had to treat the graft outlet stenosis as well to keep the graft open. Due to the focal stricture which was less than 2 centimeter in length, I have decided to put a ePTFE patch on the outflow tract to augment the size of the vessel.
After the procedure, the thrill on the graft was rather easy and vivid to palpate. She was sent to the dialysis room after the procedure and receive the dialysis treatment via the graft.

I walk through a nearby village for our program schedule then I found a signage notice that says Dr Itua Herbal Center then I asked my colleagues what all about this very man called Dr Itua, She told me that he's a herbal doctor and he can cure all kind of disease i walked to him and explain myself to him as I'm a strangler out there he prepared me herbal medicine and told me how to drink it for two weeks, when I get to my hotel room I take a look at it then says a prayer before I drank it not knowing after two weeks I went to test and I found out I was negative I ran to him to pay him more but he refuses and says I should share his works for me around the globe so sick people can see as well.
