Effects of ultrasound-guided percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for stenosis of arteriovenous fistula used for hemodialysis and related factors influencing patency.
CONCLUSIONS: Vascular patency can be maintained in hemodialysis patients with AVF dysfunction through repeated intervention, and there is no need to shorten the venous segment by surgery. Ultrasound-guided PTA is a promising substitute for traditional surgery.
