Transcatheter thrombolysis treatment of acute A-V internal fistula thrombogenesis in hemodialysis patients / 介入放射学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the value of transcatheter thrombolysis treatment of acute A V internal fistula thrombogenesis in hemodialysis patients. Methods The acute A V fistula thrombogenesis in 32 hemodialysis patients with chronic renal failure were treated with transcatheter pulse spray pharmacomechnical thrombolysis (PSPMT). Results Acute A V fistula thrombogenesis was verified in all 32 patients by angiography and treated with transcatheter PSPMT. The immediate clinical success rate of thrombolysis was achieved in 97% except for one case. The A V fistulas were proved to reopen by post treatment angiography. Recurrent thrombosis was found in 4 cases, reopenning with transcatheter PSPMT was achieved in 2 of them and the rest 2 cases were undergone PTA because of localized vascular stenosis. All the 32 A V fistulae, were reopened after treatment without serious complications such as hemorrhage, pulmonary embolism and others.Conclusions Transcatheter PSPMT is a safe, effective and microinvasive treatment for acute A V fistula thrombolysis with higher immediate reopenning rate. Transcatheter PSPMT combined with PTA and intravascular stent grafting can improve long term patency rate.
