Effect of primary balloon angioplasty on draining vein diameter and volume flow in patients with arteriovenous fistula: A cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) cause major morbidity and mortality in 10% of the global population with CKD. The most common renal replacement therapy is hemodialysis with arteriovenous fistula (AVF) access. AVF often undergoes maturation failure due to feeding artery and draining vein inadequacy. Mechanical dilatation, such as primary balloon angioplasty (PBA), can overcome AVF maturation failure. The volume flow (VF) and diameter of the draining veins in AVF patients must be known to evaluate the effect of PBA on AVF maturation. This study aims to analyze the impact of PBA on VF and draining vein diameter in ESKD patients undergoing AVF surgery.

Methods

A retrospective cohort clinical trial was conducted at our institution. A to
