Long-term outcomes of refractory central venous occlusive disease treated by stent deployment in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To investigate the long-term outcomes of stent deployment in the treatment of refractory central venous occlusive disease (CVOD) in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).

Methods

MHD patients who were successfully treated with stenting for symptomatic CVOD that was resistant to balloon angioplasty alone were consecutively included in this retrospective study. The primary (PPR) and assisted (APR) patency rates of the central vein and hemodialysis vascular access (VA), reintervention, and survival rates after stenting were followed. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to determine the factors influencing VA abandonment and mortality.

Results

The cohort comprised 65 patients (52.3% male) aged 61.5 ± 13.5 years, with a mean dia
