Improving arteriovenous fistula patency: Transdermal delivery of diclofenac reduces cannulation-dependent neointimal hyperplasia via AMPK activation

Abstract: Creation of an autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for vascular access in haemodialysis is the modality of choice. However neointimal hyperplasia and loss of the luminal compartment result in AVF patency rates of ~ 60% at 12 months. The exact cause of neointimal hyperplasia in the AVF is poorly understood. Vascular trauma has long been associated with hyperplasia. With this in mind in our rabbit model of AVF we simulated cannulation autologous to that undertaken in vascular access procedures and observed si… Show more

“…MacAskill et al and Kim et al stated in their studies that preexisting or incoming intimal hyperplasia was an important factor in AVF survival. On the other hand, the existence or absence of arteriosclerosis in the artery used for anastomosis was considered, which is similar to the study of Parmer et al, both on physiological and mechanical basis [6,11,12,15] .…”

“…Also, immediate and long-term success of a newly constructed AVF depends on several hemodynamic factors, vessel characteristics, and surgeon experience [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] .

“…It is known that the activation of the ERK1/2 pathway in SMCs contributes to AVF stenosis [ 22 ]. Thus, we investigated whether Gal-3 can activate ERK1/2 pathway in SMCs.…”

“…Cilostazol decreases the intracellular concentration of calcium, which causes cellular relaxation. Additionally, cilostazol can directly suppress the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells by E2F downregulation or as a response to platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) (MacAskill et al, 2015). Cilostazol can improve endothelial cell function by increasing nitric oxide production and decreasing inflammatory responses in endothelial cells.…”
