Article Synopsis
- * A total of 103 patients, mostly with stenotic issues in the upper arm, showed high technical and clinical success rates, with favorable patency rates at 6 months.
- * The research found low rates of adverse events (≤3%) and no device deficiencies, supporting the use of this stent graft as a safe and effective option for patients experiencing vascular access graft problems.

Objective: The Japanese Society for Dialysis Therapy recommends superficialization of the brachial artery (BA) as an alternative vascular access (VA) technique in patients for whom a conventional internal shunt (arteriovenous fistula [AVF] or arteriovenous graft) cannot be created. Although 2% to 3% of Japanese hemodialysis patients undergo this procedure, it is not well recognized worldwide. We report here our experience with the procedure, as well as indications, durability, and morbidity.

Osaka Vascular Access, Temma Nakamura Clinic, Osaka, Japan.
Purpose: The mechanisms of venous stenosis in vascular access include vascular constriction and neointimal hyperplasia. One purpose of this study was to examine the properties of stenotic lesions in arteriovenous graft outflow veins and the association with the results of treatment using stent placement.
Subjects And Methods: The study involved 46 patients who underwent stent placement to treat arteriovenous graft outflow vein stenosis.
