Small Oversized Stent Graft Is Associated With Increased Patency for the Treatment of Central Venous Disease in Hemodialysis Patients.

Stent grafts showed reasonable primary patency for the treatment of central venous disease in hemodialysis patients. Few studies, however, have explored the efficiency of stent grafts to treat CVD by considering different factors such as sizing considerations, the rate of oversizing percentage, etc. A stent graft with small oversizing is associated with better target site primary patency rates than those with large oversizing. Excessive oversizing should be avoided to prevent infolding or stent collapse.
