  • Failing or thrombosed Brescia-Cimino arteriovenous dialysis fistulas. Angiographic evaluation and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty.

    Surgically created arteriovenous fistulas of the Brescia-Cimino type are commonly used for dialysis. When they fail, it can be a very difficult and time-consuming problem to manage surgically. The authors describe a simple method of evaluating and treating failing Brescia-Cimino fistulas in outpatients, involving a combination of cinefistulography, pressure measurements, and balloon angioplasty.
