Cimino fistula, the Glossary

A Cimino fistula, also Cimino-Brescia fistula, surgically created arteriovenous fistula and (less precisely) arteriovenous fistula (often abbreviated AV fistula or AVF), is a type of vascular access for hemodialysis.^[1]

Abbreviation

An abbreviation (from Latin, meaning "short") is a shortened form of a word or phrase, by any method including shortening, contraction, initialism (which includes acronym) or crasis.

Angiography

Angiography or arteriography is a medical imaging technique used to visualize the inside, or lumen, of blood vessels and organs of the body, with particular interest in the arteries, veins, and the heart chambers.

See Cimino fistula and Angiography

Arteriovenous fistula

An arteriovenous fistula is an abnormal connection or passageway between an artery and a vein.

See Cimino fistula and Arteriovenous fistula

Artery

An artery is a blood vessel in humans and most other animals that takes oxygenated blood away from the heart in the systemic circulation to one or more parts of the body.

Bellevue Hospital

Bellevue Hospital (officially NYC Health + Hospitals/Bellevue and formerly known as Bellevue Hospital Center) is a hospital in New York City and the oldest public hospital in the United States.

Chronic kidney disease

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a type of long-term kidney disease, in which either there is a gradual loss of kidney function occurs over a period of months to years, or abnormal kidney structure (with normal function).

Computational fluid dynamics

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical analysis and data structures to analyze and solve problems that involve fluid flows.

See Cimino fistula and Computational fluid dynamics

Endothelium

The endothelium (endothelia) is a single layer of squamous endothelial cells that line the interior surface of blood vessels and lymphatic vessels.

Hemodialysis

Hemodialysis, also spelled haemodialysis, or simply dialysis, is a process of filtering the blood of a person whose kidneys are not working normally. Cimino fistula and Hemodialysis are Renal dialysis.

James J. Peters VA Medical Center

The James J. Peters VA Medical Center, (also known as the Bronx Veterans Hospital), is a US Department of Veterans Affairs hospital complex located at 130 West Kingsbridge Road in West Fordham, Bronx, New York City.

Korean War

The Korean War was fought between North Korea and South Korea; it began on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea and ceased upon an armistice on 27 July 1953.

Laminar flow

Laminar flow is the property of fluid particles in fluid dynamics to follow smooth paths in layers, with each layer moving smoothly past the adjacent layers with little or no mixing.

New York City

New York, often called New York City (to distinguish it from New York State) or NYC, is the most populous city in the United States.

See Cimino fistula and New York City

Path of least resistance

The path of least resistance is the physical or metaphorical pathway that provides the least resistance to forward motion by a given object or entity, among a set of alternative paths.

See Cimino fistula and Path of least resistance

Phlebotomy

Phlebotomy is the process of making a puncture in a vein, usually in the arm, with a cannula for the purpose of drawing blood. Cimino fistula and Phlebotomy are Vascular surgery.

See Cimino fistula and Phlebotomy

Polytetrafluoroethylene

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene, and has numerous applications because it is chemically inert.

See Cimino fistula and Polytetrafluoroethylene

Stenosis

Stenosis is the abnormal narrowing of a blood vessel or other tubular organ or structure such as foramina and canals.

See Cimino fistula and Stenosis

Vein

Veins are blood vessels in the circulatory system of humans and most other animals that carry blood towards the heart.

See Cimino fistula and Vein

Veteran

A veteran is a person who has significant experience (and is usually adept and esteemed) and expertise in an occupation or field.

See Cimino fistula and Veteran

Volumetric flow rate

In physics and engineering, in particular fluid dynamics, the volumetric flow rate (also known as volume flow rate, or volume velocity) is the volume of fluid which passes per unit time; usually it is represented by the symbol (sometimes \dot V).

See Cimino fistula and Volumetric flow rate
