Repeated Endovascular Interventions Are Worthwhile, Even After Thrombosis, to Maintain Long-Term Use of Autogenous Dialysis Fistulas.

Through repeated interventions on aAVFs, none of the patients in our study exhausted all hemodialysis access options prior to transplantation, death or loss to follow-up. These results may indicate repeated and/or more frequent revisions do not negatively affect the FFP nor do they increase the overall risk for abandonment of aAVFs.
