Bohndorf, R. Günther, D. Vorwerk, U. Gladziwa, D. Kistler, H. Sieberth] Our experience with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for treatment of stenoses and occlusions in surgically created arteriovenous fistulas (Brescia-Cimino) is reported. Methodological aspects are emphasized. Forty-nine PTAs were performed in 36 patients, in 3 combined with the use of a vascular metallic endoprosthesis (Wallstent). The initial success rates for stenoses and occlusions and occlusions were 91% and 77%, respectively. Long stenoses and occlusions (>4 cm) showed significantly worse initial results (55%) as compared to short ones (95%). Of the primarily successfully treated shunts, 90% are still functioning after a mean follow-up time of 8 months. The results indicate that PTA may replace surgical intervention as the primary method for treatment of insufficient flow for internal arteriovenous shunts, provided fresh thrombi are not the cause of the occlusion. Metallic endoprostheses and the use of atherectomy catheters were shown to be a valuable adjunct to classical PTA in selected cases.
