Summary

Treating failing dialysis access with minimally invasive percutaneous interventions is crucial for end-stage renal disease patients. These techniques, including angioplasty for stenoses and mechanical devices for thromboses, help maintain long-term access function.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Interventional Radiology

Background:

  • Dialysis access complications like stenoses and thromboses are frequent in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients.
  • Maintaining long-term access function is vital for effective hemodialysis.
  • Minimally invasive percutaneous interventions are increasingly important for managing these access issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and present interventional treatments for failing arteriovenous (AV) access.
  • To highlight the role of minimally invasive techniques in managing AV access complications.

Main Methods:

  • Balloon angioplasty (PTA) for treating stenoses.
  • Combination of mechanical devices and/or thrombolytic agents with PTA for thrombotic lesions.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • PTA is effective for dialysis graft and fistula stenoses.
  • Combined approaches are necessary for managing thrombotic AV access complications.
  • Minimally invasive interventions offer viable solutions for failing AV access.

Conclusions:

  • Interventional treatments are essential for managing failing dialysis access.
  • Minimally invasive percutaneous interventions are key to preserving long-term AV access function in ESRD patients.
