Abstract No. 207 Single-Institution Outcomes of Self-expanding PTFE-Covered Stents Throughout the Dialysis Circuit
Practice in the preservation of hemodialysis access points including fistulas and grafts has evolved to include placement of bare-metal, drug-eluting, and PTFE-covered stents. Randomized clinical IDE trials such as REVISE and RENOVA have investigated the outcomes of self-expanding covered stents focused specifically on the venous anastomotic segment. The purpose of this study is to present the patency outcomes of self-expanding stent use in the dialysis circuit not falling within the traditional IFU recommendations.
