Background: Venous outflow is the favored access for endovascular management of dialysis fistulas. However, transradial access (TRA) offers advantages in specific clinical scenarios. The study aims to compare the efficacy, feasibility, and safety of TRA and transvenous access (TVA) in the endovascular management of malfunctioning dialysis fistulas, addressing the existing gap in comprehensive literature.

This study also compares dRA with conventional access techniques, such as proximal radial and transvenous access, focusing on technical success, clinical outcomes, and vascular access site complications (VASCs).
Methods: A retrospective multicenter study was conducted across four hospitals, including 292 patients treated between January 2019 and June 2024.
Background: Despite the development in endovascular technologies and the introduction of new tools in clinical practice, the endovascular crossing of femoropopliteal occlusions is not always possible with the antegrade approach, with a failure rate that can be up to 20%. This study aims to assess the feasibility, safety, and efficacy in terms of acute outcome of the endovascular retrograde crossing of femoro-popliteal occlusions with tibial access.
Methods: This study is a single-centre, retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data of 152 consecutive patients, who had undergone, from September 2015 to September 2022, endovascular treatment of femoro-popliteal arterial occlusions with retrograde tibial access after the failure of the antegrade approach.
