Impact of a change in vascular access flow volume after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty on cardiac function.

ABSTRACT: Vascular access (VA) is necessary for patients on hemodialysis, and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) is a useful treatment for maintaining VA function. PTA immediately increases the VA flow volume, which can affect cardiac function. We investigated the relationship between changes in VA flow volume and cardiac function in patients who underwent PTA. This was a single-center retrospective observational study, including patients who underwent PTA between June 2016 and August 2016. VA flow volume and cardiac function were measured by sonography before and 1 h after PTA. This study included 50 PTA procedures in 50 cases. PTA significantly increased the median VA flow volume from 445 (range, 150-1229) to 725 (350-1268) mL/min. Although the ejection fraction and diameter of the inferi
