Haemodialysis access thrombosis: Outcomes after surgical thrombectomy versus catheter-directed thrombolytic infusion.

CONCLUSION: Thrombolysis for thrombosis of native and prosthetic dialysis accesses appears to yield better assisted primary patency compared to surgical thrombectomy. Our results suggest that thrombolysis may be considered the first-choice method for treating the thrombosed dialysis access. PMID: 29614907 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
