Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA) on autogenous arteriovenous fistula malfunction in hemodialysis patients. Methods A retrospective study was conducted in patients whose arteriovenous fistulas(AVFs) were salvaged by PTA in our hospital. Results Totally thirty-one patients with 42 stenoses were treated with PTA. Mean follow-up was 9(3~20) months. Technical success rate was 90.3%(28/31). Clinical success rate was 96.8%(30/31), and one year primary patency rate was 41.3%. Conclusion PTA successfully improves the fistula patency, and is an effective therapeutic modality for the treatment of AVF malfunction in hemodialysis patients.
