Abstract

Hemodialysis access failures affect the quality of life of ESRD patients due to the increased morbidity associated with higher numbers of hospital readmissions, invasive diagnostic studies, and open and endovascular reinterventions. The goal of this chapter is to understand the pathophysiology and management of stenosis within the hemodialysis circuit in order to better preserve functional arteriovenous access.
