Short Term Success of Treatments to Salvage Thrombosed or Failing Synthetic Arteriovenous Grafts in End Stage Renal Disease: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials.
CONCLUSIONS: Stent graft seems to perform better than plain balloon angioplasty in terms of saving thrombosed or failing AVGs. However, this network meta-analysis was limited by the lack of closed loops and thus unable to assess consistency between direct and indirect evidence. The efficacy of DEBs as a promising treatment deserves further investigation and new RCTs are required.
