In the previous issue of case sharing, we presented a complex coronary intervention case, in which the Alveo HP \u03a60.75 balloon, independently developed by BrosMed Medical, demonstrated excellent performance in crossing the lesion and dilation, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship of innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we bring you a new case. Let’s take a look at what other innovative product will help clinical practitioners in this case……<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case information<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patient Information:<\/strong> Male, 62 years old, 68 kg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting time:<\/strong> June 9, 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chief complaint:<\/strong> Hemodialysis for 3 years, and arteriovenous fistula (AVF) dysfunction found for 1 week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History of present illness:<\/strong> The patient had failed left forearm AVF formation 3 years ago, and subsequently underwent a right upper extremity AVF formation. After the maturation of AVF in the right upper extremity, maintenance hemodialysis treatment was initiated. One week ago, the dialysis nurse reported an “arterial pressure alarm”, and outpatient ultrasound examination revealed localized stenosis in the AVF.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Past medical history:<\/strong> Hypertension, and type 2 diabetes mellitus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admission examination<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Physical examination:<\/strong> No obvious abnormalities were found in general physical examination. A surgical scar was seen on the right forearm, and high-pitched vascular bruit could be heard at the juxta-anastomotic site of the AVF. Palpation revealed tremors and a weak pulsation. No apparent aneurysmal dilation was found in the AVF region of the right upper extremity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laboratory tests:<\/strong> Hb 117g\/L, Alb 40.0g\/L, Cr 1205 \u03bcmol\/L, Ca 2.08 mmol\/L, P 1.39 mmol\/L, K 4.65 mmol\/L, CO2 23.5 mmol\/L.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultrasound examination:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diagnostic result:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25aa Stenosis in autologous AVF and maintenance hemodialysis<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25aa Stenosis at the juxta-anastomotic site measured 1.2 mm, intimal hyperplasia, and estimated Qa 250 mL\/min<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surgical procedure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

01 Balloon dilatation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tri-Wedge\u2122 scoring balloon could dilate the narrowed area by passing through the lesion, exerting pressure up to 12 ATM, and then withdrawing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

02 Ultrasound imaging<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scoring balloon catheter with three triangular metallic wires was well-defined, allowing for accurate positioning under ultrasound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
