Active clinical trials for "Fistula"

Vascular access (VA) is the most important for carrying out hemodialysis, yet it may bring in complications and leads to hemodialysis quality decline. This study aimed to explore the impact of vascular access types, including temporary vs.long term hemodialysis catheter on central vein stenosis.

Study of the features of hemodynamic and clinical maturation of the native arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis.

Background and Purpose: Congenital coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an uncommon anomaly. In some patients they can became symptomatic, associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We report our experience in percutaneous treatment of CAF.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the creation of a fistula or a graft plays a role in the development of heart disease for patients undergoing hemodialysis

Prospective comparative parallel ultrasound diagnostic transrectal study in the diagnosis of cryptogenic fistulas of the rectum

Colovesical fistulas are well-recognized but relatively uncommon pathology to both the general and colorectal surgeon. It is a complication arising from an underlying primary acute to chronic inflammatory process. Although colovesical fistulas are uncommon, they are associated with significant morbidity, affect quality of life, and may lead to death, usually secondary to urosepsis. Early diagnosis and management is essential. The purpose of the study is to determine the objective use of cystographic evaluation on postoperative day two to guide early Foley catheter removal post colovesical fistula takedown. The hypothesis is that a cystogram showing no extravasation of contrast on postoperative day two will predict safe removal without increased morbidity. This is an uncontrolled, single arm trial. Patients who meet criteria to undergo either minimally invasive or open colovesical fistula takedown with sigmoid colectomy, without evidence of the need for bladder repair will be eligible to participate. An indwelling Foley catheter is placed intraoperative and continued postoperative. All patients who consent to participate would undergo a cystogram on postoperative day two. The cystogram will be conducted by a radiologist and technician well-trained in the techniques and interpretation of the study. The colorectal surgery enhanced recovery protocol will be followed on all patients with the exception of the cystogram being conducted on post-op day two. If there is no evidence of extravasation of dye is seen on the cystogram the Foley catheter will be removed. Patients will be monitored closely following catheter removal to ensure self-diuresis.

An enterocutaneous fistula (ECF) poses a major surgical problem. The definitive surgical repair of persistent fistulas remains a surgical challenge with a high rate of re-fistulation and mortality, and the reasons for that is not the surgical technique alone. Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS®) is an evidence-based multimodal perioperative protocol proven to reduce postoperative complications. The aim of the study was to assess the clinical value of ERAS protocol in surgical patients with ECF.

The objective of our study is to identify the factors influencing the occurrence of a biliary leak after performing surgery leading to the creation of a biliary anastomosis to any segment of the digestive tract.

In 2013, a double purse-string telescoped pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) technique appeared to significantly reduce the risk of postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF). This study compared the incidence of clinically relevant POPF in patients with high-risk anastomosis after undergoing PG or pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) techniques.

Pain and satisfaction score will be assessed at the end of surgery and compared in either of two groups
