Abstract

Patients on haemodialysis are susceptible for central vein occlusions, which can result in debilitating clinical consequences. These may be resistant to conventional revascularization with guidewire and catheter technique. Value-driven sharp recanalization of central vein occlusion is depicted as a safe and affordable option.
