Abstract

Endovascular interventions have replaced surgical repair as the primary treatment of the failing or thrombosed vascular access. However, endovascular and surgical techniques are complementary: the limitations of one are the strengths of the other. Endovascular management of access-related problems is a critical component of a successful vascular access monitoring program. The identification and early treatment of developing stenoses, before access thrombosis are essential roles that are ideally suited to percutaneous, image-guided techniques. Despite recent advances in endovascular techniques and devices, angioplasty continues to be the primary method for treatment of access-related stenoses. When appropriate lesions are treated, angioplasty is a fast, easy, and safe procedure that can extend to patency of a hemodialysis graft or fistula.
