    Abstract

    Our study aimed at evaluation of endovascular management of failed arteriovenous fistula in dialysis patients. Material And Method: This study was carried out in total of 24 patients referred to our department with complained of failed arteriovenous fistula for dialysis. These patients were evaluated with Duplex Doppler and DSA angiography. Patients were treated by endovascular treatment which included balloon plasty, stent and stent graft. Post procedure patients were followed up at 6 months. Follow up is done with duplex ultrasound. Result: In the study, majority of patients in the study were between 41-50 years (33%), followed by 31-40 years (29%). The mean age of patients in the study was 45.46+13.22 years (22-70). Males (58%) were more than females (42%) in the study. Majority of AVF were located at elbow (56%). Left sided (75%) vascular accesses presented more with complications compared to that with right side (25%).
