| [ Summary ] |
Intervention therapy for VA repair has been performed in many hospitals. However, neither procedures nor indications have been established. In the future, Japanese guidelines for VA will be established by and reviewed by several societies. The Working Group for Preparing Blood Access Guidelines, which was organized by the Japan Society of Dialysis, published the details regarding agreements. The appearance of a new device has gradually increased the rate and duration of VA patency. To prevent stenosis and occlusion in patients with AVF or AVG, we reviewed strategies for the early detection of shunt failure, therapeutic strategies for PTA, the appropriate use of PCB involving its efficacy and limitations, and future devices. |
