Shaker S. Qaqish

Thank you to ASDIN for a great meeting and the opportunity to serve as faculty. I hope I was able to share some knowledge with the new fellows, and I learned a great deal from the outstanding presentations and feedback. Already looking forward to ASDIN 2027!

Prolonged bleeding is not always due to downstream stenosis. Angioplasty of an outflow 60% stenosis with a 16 mm balloon in a high flow fistula will not solve the problem! Reduce flow to treat venous hypertension. # Banding

@dramrmaged At this advanced stage, usually the IJ is thrombosed. If the IJ fills during the angiogram study, I avoid jailing it. Also,examining the neck using ultrasound before stenting helps.

@Shaker28703252 What about jailing the IJV?

Bare metal stents=central angioplasty. A properly placed covered central stent can maintain patency, permanatly resolve arm swelling and avoid a femoral catheter. This statement is correct, once TOS is ruled out. # TOS

Just noticed, correction: we are best best poster-honorable mention. #VASA

Wonderful to see everyone. We won the best poster! Pleasure working with Dr. Tal, and the rest of the team. #VASA

@DrJnotJulius Great work, what stent type did you place?

Nothing better illustrates mastering the basics and attention to detail. Complex venous recanalization from malignant obstruction in a young female also needing a port for chemo. Successful recan only to have port dehiscence three weeks later. #postyourfailurestoo

@RaviHasanadka Thanks Ravi. Yes, with this technique success rate is higher, without having spasm or hematoma formation. Even if DRA failed, you always have conventional radial access as a back up. Also less risk for hand ischemia compared to conventional.

I agree the safest and best long term option would be to abandon the forearm graft and have it surgically revised vs creation of a proximal radio or brachio-basilic AV fistula.

4 week old thrombosed FA Loop AVG. First pullback here. Venous anast to cubital cephalic (Kumpe tip). Cephalic trash, median cubital small, basilic outflow is decent. Proceed with perc throm or back for surgical declot/revision? Has PC still. @ASDINNews @wasse_m #Nephtwitter

@NMawlaMD Beautiful work!

Maybe if patient listened to the surgeon, we’d have a BVT that matured and never needed me or that PC for 3 months. But now also listed for a kidney now too, and maybe this BCF will hold to transplant. Why do you fight your fight? 6/6 #NephTwitter

60yo CKD5 patient travels 200+ miles for a 3rd opinion for immature 10m BCF. Surgeon said abandon by exam. Local IR said abandon by angio. Initial angiogram (red line brachial art). Salvage attempt or abandon? #WWGBD Poll next slide #nephtwitter @ASDINNews @wasse_m 1/x

It was a great pleasure to attend the 10th year Anniversary of the DAI. The one and only Dr. John Ross!!

2.5y ago newfangled fistula while CKD5 GFR 10. Premptive Txp 6m later. Qa ~650-700, 7mm vessels but most importantly Cr 1.2. AVF never touched. Patient is all smiles. #endoAVF #pAVF #ellipsys #wavelinq @ASDINNews
