Real-world effectiveness of DKutting Scoring Balloon for AVF and AVG stenosis and thrombosis.

ABSTRACT: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and arteriovenous graft (AVG) stenosis are common complications among hemodialysis patients, necessitating repeated interventions due to neointimal hyperplasia and restenosis. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA), while a standard treatment, faces challenges in long-term efficacy. The DKutting Scoring Balloon, a novel advancement in scoring balloon technology, incorporates triangular scoring elements and non-compliant balloon material to create controlled micro-incisions in the vessel wall, aiming to enhance procedural precision, reduce vessel trauma, and lower restenosis rates. In the largest study of its kind, this retrospective analysis conducted at Beijing Haidian Hospital evaluated the device's performance across 428 patients with significant AVF and
