This study analysed the primary patency of arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) in Medicare beneficiaries, finding a low rate compared to previous trial settings. Age was not a major contributor to AVF patency, but women and Black patients had disproportionately lower rates, even after multivariable adjustment.

Patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD) face significant cardiovascular and limb risks, necessitating tailored antithrombotic strategies. A global multidisciplinary work group reviewed current evidence, highlighting the varied responses to antiplatelets and anticoagulants, the importance of balancing benefits and bleeding risks, and providing clinical scenarios and recommendations for future research.

This PVI 2024 session covers strategies for managing venous ulcers with both superficial and deep venous disease. It highlights how early reflux elimination through simultaneous vein ablation can reduce recurrence and offer a cost-effective alternative to lifelong compression, and emphasizes the importance of personalized wound care and compression therapy, supported by detailed case studies.
