Long‐term efficacy and risk factors of balloon‐assisted maturation for radial‐cephalic arteriovenous fistula with small‐caliber veins

Tsung‐Chi Kao, Hung‐Chang Hsieh, Sheng‐Yueh Yu, Ta‐Wei Su et autres

INTRODUCTION: Balloon angioplasty maturation (BAM) is a salvage method for autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) maturation failure. AVF creation using small-diameter veins is considered to have poor outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the long-term patency of small-diameter veins (≤3 mm) using …
