Abstract
The use of stent grafts in hemodialysis patients with graft outflow stenosis yielded superior results compared with the results seen in hemodialysis patients treated with balloon angioplasty alone. Patients treated with stent grafts after balloon angioplasty had a lower restenosis rate and a longer duration of postintervention primary patency. The placement of a stent graft after balloon angioplasty appears to be an optimal therapeutic approach for the treatment of hemodialysis patients with graft outflow stenosis.
