  • Title: Treatment of hemodialysis vascular access arteriovenous graft failure by percutaneous intervention.
    Author: Planken RN, van Kesteren F, Reekers JA.
    Journal: J Vasc Access; 2014; 15 Suppl 7():S114-9. PubMed ID: 24817467.
    Abstract:
    A patent vascular access is the lifeline of end-stage renal disease patients depending on hemodialysis treatment. Once a functioning vascular access has been established, maintaining its patency is of utmost importance. During the last decades percutaneous techniques became increasingly important for the treatment of hemodialysis vascular access graft failure. In this review, the role of percutaneous balloon angioplasty and stent implantation is evaluated for different clinical scenarios, based on the available evidence.
