Percutaneous intervention for restoration of patency of occluded lower limb arteriovenous dialysis access.

CONCLUSION: Both the patient underwent successful endovascular treatment for the failure of the lower limb AV dialysis access thrombosis and/or obstruction. One patient had minimal dye extravasation during manipulation of the guide wire, which ceased spontaneously. On follow-up, both patients maintained patency of the dialysis access and are undergoing successful hemodialysis. One patient had a recurrence of the thrombosis of the fistula at 9th month of the follow-up. Endovascular treatment was tried but we could not succeed. However, we found endovascular treatment safe and effective in treating AV fistula failures. PMID: 29961468 [PubMed - in process]
