Publication History
Publication Date:

Prophylactic angioplasty of dysfunctional hemodialysis shunts is a common and relatively straightforward procedure. If left untreated, many stenotic lesions progress to ultimately incite thrombosis and access failure. Angioplasty improves access patency and helps avert thrombosis that can reduce overall access life.
