Summary: | ABSTRACT
Aim
Dysfunctional arteriovenous (AV) access remains a significant cause of morbidity and hospital admission for patients with end stage renal failure on haemodialysis. This study was performed to evaluate the impact of paclitaxel‐coated Balloon (PCB) on the patency of AV access with recurrent stenoses.
Methods
We retrospectively studied haemodialysis patients who presented to our centre with recurrent AV access dysfunction and compared intervention‐free patency using plain balloon versus PCB.
Results
A total of 147 patients were followed up longitudinally. Intervention‐free patency was better following PCB compared to previous intervention using plain balloons (6.4 ± 5.8 versus 4.0 ± 3.7, P |
