[Phlebography in patients on hemodialysis (author's transl)]

20% of 450 patients on various programs of hemodialysis underwent phlebography and, in some cases, also arteriography for evaluation and radiographic documentation of their shunt. The most frequent complications thus found were: Congenital variants, thrombosis and stenosis due to fibrotic scanning. Of 224 new shunts placed in 1979, there were 98 with late and only 25 with early complications. In case of complications, data and type of corrective surgery were markedly influenced by phlebography.
