Dr. Mesay is a dedicated Radiologist based in Addis Ababa, played a pivotal role in the recent groundbreaking workshop on AV dialysis fistula and vascular access. With extensive experience and expertise in Radiology, Dr. Mesay collaborated with esteemed Vascular Surgery colleagues, Dr. Tizazu and Dr. Dawit, to present a two-year research paper that promises to shape the future of vascular care in Ethiopia. Currently, Dr. Mesay leading Vascular Interventional Radiology initiatives at Minilik Hospital, bringing a unique perspective to the field of vascular surgery, blending surgical precision with advanced imaging techniques.

On Thursday, December 14th, a remarkable event unfolded as Dr. Tizazu, Dr. Dawit, and I found ourselves immersed in an astonishing workshop. As highly skilled vascular surgeons and a vascular-trained Radiologist, we had the privilege of presenting our two-year research paper on AV dialysis fistula and the perfect creation of vascular access. The workshop delved into the intricacies of surveillance doppler mapping and the unique pattern of Ethiopian local AVF. This blog aims to shed light on the significance of this event and the collaborative efforts that made it possible.

A Convergence of Minds:

The event served as a true convergence of nephrologists, vascular surgeons, dialysis nurses, general practitioners, fellows, and all stakeholders invested in elevating comprehensive care for native AVF through collaborative and interdisciplinary communication. We express our immense gratitude to all those who participated, both in person and online, and extend our hope that next time, everyone genuinely concerned about the betterment of healthcare would join us.

Harnessing Technological Advancements:

The significance of pre-mapping AV HD and accurately surveilling it with doppler ultrasound scan cannot be overstated. Technological advancements, functional studies, and vascular angio studies have revolutionized the way we care for fistulas, enabling us to intervene promptly in case of complications. In this grand endeavor, the Sonscape Corps and Pelical Trading played an invaluable role as exclusive sponsors of our research-based community health event. Their genuine compassion for helping the vulnerable, their support in organizing CMEs, and their commitment to raising awareness were truly commendable.

Gratitude to Remarkable Partners:

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Adoniyas T. Sebsibe, the East African Sonscape Sales Manager, and Pelical Trading for their unwavering support. Their dedication has not gone unnoticed, and we are confident that our collaboration will continue to thrive, yielding even more remarkable results. We look forward to working together in the future, particularly in establishing an Endovascular Surgical and Radiology subspecialty unit.

I would like to express my gratitude to Mekelle Ayder University Hospital for providing me with an early insight into the field of Radiology. Their well-equipped facilities and commitment to modern Radiology have played a crucial role in shaping my career. I am confident that Ayder Radiology and the hospital will regain their prestigious setup soon, continuing to contribute significantly to the field of medicine. The vascular surgery and radiology service in Africa is starting to grow as younger subspecialists and a dedicated platform being structured in Addis as well regional cities. For Example Dr. Dagim Leykun is our partner contributing to the AVF report template back he was a Vascular Fellow and now pioneering vascular surgery services and revolutionizing the vascular care based in Hawassa city for the broader Southern part of Ethiopia.

In conclusion, the AVF comprehensive seminar showcased the immense potential of collaboration, goodwill, and advanced medical technology in revolutionizing vascular care. We are on the brink of a new era where technological advancements in Radiology will play a crucial role in elevating the standard of care. We invite all stakeholders to join hands and embrace the remarkable possibilities that lie ahead. Together, we can pave the way for a brighter future in dialysis care and Ethiopian vascular services.
