FAILING OR THROMBOSED BRESCIA-CIMINO ARTERIOVENOUS DIALYSIS FISTULAS - ANGIOGRAPHIC EVALUATION AND PERCUTANEOUS TRANS-LUMINAL ANGIOPLASTY RADIOLOGY Hunter, D. W., So, S. K., CASTANEDAZUNIGA, W. R., Coleman, C. E., Sutherland, D. E., Amplatz, K. 1983; 149 (1): 105-109

Abstract

Surgically created arteriovenous fistulas of the Brescia-Cimino type are commonly used for dialysis. When they fail, it can be a very difficult and time-consuming problem to manage surgically. The authors describe a simple method of evaluating and treating failing Brescia-Cimino fistulas in outpatients, involving a combination of cinefistulography, pressure measurements, and balloon angioplasty.
