Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical effect of percutaneous balloon angioplasty for the treatment of arteriovenous fistula stenosis or occlusion in upper extremity in hemodialysis patients. Methods Percutaneous balloon angioplasty was performed in 14 hemodialysis patients with arteriovenous fistula stenosis or occlusion in upper extremity. The preoperative and post operative clinical manifestations, the color Doppler ultrasonographic findings, the blood flow during hemodialysis and the angiographic demonstrations were recorded and compared. Results After balloon dilatation, the constricted segment was remarkably dilated and the occluded site was re-opened in all patients. Angiographic findings showed that the degree of stenosis was less than 30%. Conclusion As a simple, mini-mvasive and safe technique with remarkable short-term effectiveness, percutaneous balloon angioplasty is an valuable therapy for arteriovenous fistula stenosis or occlusion in upper extremity in hemodialysis patients.
