Conventional angioplasty of stenoses at the venous anastomosis has been demonstrated to
be an important endovascular adjunct to mechanical thrombectomy of clotted arteriovenous …

Purpose: To retrospectively review the long-term outcome as well as the cost effectiveness
of thrombolytic therapy and balloon angioplasty (TBA) versus surgical thrombectomy and …

OBJECTIVE: Most arteriovenous hemodialysis grafts fail≤ 18 months after implantation,
most commonly due to intimal hyperplasia at the venous anastomosis. This open …

Objective The aim of this trial was to compare the rates of patency achieved by cutting and
conventional balloon angioplasty to treat hemodialysis access stenoses. Methods End-stage …

Salvage of thrombosed dialysis access grafts with venous anastomosis stents. Background
Thrombosis of arteriovenous (AV) grafts caused by stenosis at the venous anastomosis is a …

Dialysis fistulas and bridge grafts frequently develop outflow stenoses in the venous limb,
leading to graft failure. The venous stenoses are fibrotic and require percutaneous …

Objectives: To evaluate the technical success, safety and patency of cutting balloon
angioplasty for the treatment of resistant dialysis access stenoses. Background: Cutting …

The efficacy of balloon angioplasty with stent placement is compared to surgical patch
angioplasty for thrombosed upper arm hemodialysis grafts with stenotic lesions at the …

Peripheral cutting balloons with diameters of 5–8 mm were employed to dilate eight resistant
stenoses among 62 venous stenoses in 48 Brescia-Cimino fistulas. The grade of stenosis …

Purpose: To compare primary patency rates of cutting balloon percutaneous transluminal
angioplasty (PTA)(hereafter, cutting PTA) and conventional balloon PTA (hereafter …
