Abstract
Central venous occlusive disease is frequently observed in patients with end-stage renal disease. Venography remains the gold standard for diagnosis, but intravascular ultrasound is a potentially beneficial adjunct that may positively influence intervention.
Keywords:
ESRD; IVUS; central venous stenosis; end-stage renal disease; intravascular ultrasound.
