Given a recent study which shows that stent grafts provide superior short-term patency compared with angioplasty alone in treatment of venous outflow stenosis in dialysis grafts, these devices are increasingly used for this application.[1] Long-term patency data are not yet available and few complications related to these devices have been reported to date.
