Abstract
The application of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty to vascular access stenosis [a hemodialysis] was described. These access problems were discovered by the technique of retrograde venous fistulography; 13 dilatations were attempted in 12 patients. Functional success was achieved in 7 attempts. This resulted in a significant prolongation of access survival in these patients. Angioplasty was recommended as a nonsurgical approach to vascular access stenosis.
