Duplex Guided Balloon Angioplasty of Failing Infrainguinal Bypass Grafts

Abstract

Duplex guided endovascular therapy is an effective modality for the treatment of failing infrainguinal arterial bypasses.

Duplex-guided balloon angioplasty of failing or nonmaturing arterio-venous fistulae for hemodialysis: A new office-based procedure

“…We have previously explored the role of duplex scan-guidance for lower extremity angioplasties and carotid angioplasty. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13] The hemodynamic information that is obtained with duplex scan-guidance, the safety of performing these procedures, the absence of dye exposure to the patient, and radiation exposure to the staff was also previously highlighted. 14,15 In this series, we further investigate our experience with duplex scan-guided balloon angioplasties of AV fistula performed in the office.…”

Retrograde Approach for Endovascular Salvage of an Infrapopliteal Vein Bypass

“…1,2 However, in some cases, a difficult anterograde access in distal occlusions has limited the technical success of this procedure. 1,3,4 Here, we present the case of a retromalleolar access of the posterior tibial artery for femoraleposterior tibial bypass salvage.…”

Duplex-Guided Angioplasty of Failing or Nonmaturing Arteriovenous Access

“…We have published our experience with duplex-guided angioplasties of infrainguinal arteries in patients with impaired renal function and variety of infrainguinal arterial bypasses. 7,8 In the present study we attempt to find out the feasibility of this procedure in patients with failing or non-maturing AV access.…”
