Balloon dilation of a narrowed dialysis access to restore flow — the standard endovascular treatment for stenosis.
Angioplasty (PTA) of stenotic segments restores access flow, often with stenting for elastic recoil or recurrent stenosis. It is performed under local anesthesia via the access itself. Regular surveillance (flow studies) triggers PTA before thrombosis, extending access survival.
Narrowing of a dialysis fistula or graft — the leading cause of access failure and thrombosis.
A dye study of the dialysis access to detect stenosis — the diagnostic step before access angioplasty.
The surgical connection created to allow blood to flow between the patient's circulatory system and the dialysis machine during hemodialysis sessions.
A surgical connection between an artery and a vein, typically in the forearm, created to provide reliable vascular access for hemodialysis.
