As in dialysis grafts, the underlying cause of failures or thromboses in functional dialysis fistulas is most often venous stenosis. Primary percutaneous treatment remains POBA. Management of dysfunctional autogenous fistulas presents a number of challenges not encountered with arteriovenous grafts. Attempts at percutaneous intervention require substantially more effort and time, which is often rewarded...
Although dialysis grafts and dialysis fistulas are fundamentally different in many ways, the interventions performed within them and the methods employed are the same. Indications for interventions and endpoints of interventions are also relatively similar. What constitutes success of the intervention performed? There are immediate anatomic, clinical, and hemodynamic endpoints for every case, while...
Thrombosis occurs roughly 10 times more frequently in dialysis grafts compared to autogenous fistulas. Thrombosis in AVGs is often the result of an underlying hemodynamically significant stenosis. The site of stenosis can often be determined by physical examination where inflow and outflow stenoses can be identified. Key points to evaluate by examination are the location and type of graft, presence...
