Long-segment restrictive tear of radial Artery under ultrasound guide
for arteriovenous fistula by PTA:A case report
Abstract
Considerable calcification and stenosis frequently occur in the radial
artery (RA) in diabetic nephropathy. PTA was performed successfully
using balloon to expand and restrictively tear the longitudinal axis of
the RA. Serendipity,the method indicates it may be a useful measure of
promoting maturation of AVF in diabetic nephropathy
