Over 54 months, 70 short stenoses of 63 shunts (32 Brescia-Cimino fistulas, 31 grafts) in 59
patients necessitated a first percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Restenosis led to …

A noninvasive technique, color Doppler flow imaging, was used to study the predictive value
for future episodes of thrombosis in vascular access (polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE] grafts …

Forty-six patients with malfunctioning hemodialysis access fistulas were treated with balloon
angioplasty. The initial percutaneous transluminal angioplasty procedure was successful in …

A total of 31 patients with 45 episodes of failing arteriovenous dialysis fistulas was studied.
Fistula failure was usually due to venous and/or anastomotic stenosis, often in conjunction …

PURPOSE: To evaluate percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) alone versus PTA and
flexible self-expanding stent placement for the management of hemodialysis access graft …

Stenosis and thrombosis caused by stenosis are the most frequent complications of arterio-
venous (av) access for haemodialysis. The well-known disadvantages and potential …

A retrospective study was undertaken to see if screening ultrasounds and elective surgical
revision could decrease access failure. Two hundred fifty-three accesses [177 gortex grafts …

From 1981 to 1986 a total of 499 operations were performed for permanent hemodialysis
vascular access in 230 patients. At least 1 year's follow-up was achieved in all cases. This …

A randomized study of transluminal angioplasty versus surgical revision for stenosis at the
venous end of hemodialysis grafts was carried out. Median patency for the surgical group …
