Efficacy of drug-coated balloon catheters for patients with short-term recurrent dysfunction of arteriovenous fistula

CONCLUSION: For AVFs that require frequent PTA over a short period of time, DCB improved the patency rate 3 months after PTA, but the improvement effect at 6 months was limited. The effect of DCB on prolonging the patency rate of AVFs that require frequent PTA over a short period of time may be correlated with the RI value before and after PTA.PMID:38641588 | DOI:10.1177/11297298241245853
