T-shaped angioplasty with apex puncture of thrombosed looped hemodialysis grafts

J Vasc Interv Radiol. 2013 Mar;24(3):406-9. doi: 10.1016/j.jvir.2012.11.006.

Abstract

This study is a retrospective evaluation of an alternative technique for angioplasty of thrombosed loop hemodialysis grafts through a single vascular access. This technique can provide balloon angioplasty to the puncture site without any additional vascular accesses by using a T-shaped balloon catheter and can simplify thrombectomy procedures.
