Abstract

In the vascular access for hemodialysis, angiography is a prerequisite in 1) studying the patient’s vascular bed to determine the choice of surgical procedure, 2) determining the cause of a malfunctioning vascular access, and 3) selecting the appropriate treatment of the failing graft or arteriovenous fistula. In addition to the traditional methods of venography and arteriography, the most recent techniques of digital angiography and angioplasty will be described in this chapter. Today there are basically two types of vascular access used in chronic dialysis patients: the arteriovenous anastomosis initially described by Brescia et al. in 1966 [1] and the secondary or prosthetic graft using autologous artificial or semiartificial material. The radiologic findings related to failure of both types of vascular access will be illustrated.
