Dialysis Access Management

  • Chapter
Vascular Interventional Radiology

Part of the book series: Medical Radiology ((Med Radiol Diagn Imaging))

  • 2333 Accesses

Abstract

The long-term maintenance of haemodialysis access via funnelled lines or fistulas is challenging. The insertion of dialysis lines and the management of subsequent complications of these catheters by interventional radiology will be discussed. A range of endovascular techniques for the presentation of haemodialysis fistula access will also be reviewed.
