Abstract

Angiography of the dialysis access is an important procedure in dealing with dialysis arteriovenous access (AVA) dysfunction. It is an integral part and the initiating procedure for all the interventional procedures performed for the management and salvage of dialysis AVA. The performance of this procedure and normal dialysis access-related anatomy including anatomical variants are discussed. In addition, pathology commonly encountered in association with the anatomy is reviewed.
