Abstract
- Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is an effective method in treating arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis in hemodialysis patients. But, some stenoses are resistant to these procedures. Recently, cutting balloon angiopasty has been introduced as an alternative method for resistant AVF stenosis. We here report two cases of resistant AVF stenosis successfully treated by cutting balloon angioplasty in hemodialysis patients.
