Abstract:

One of complications of using hemodialysis catheters is stenosis or occlusion of central veins. This may cause dysfunction of an ipsilateral arteriovenous fistula in the future. Despite of high restenosis rate - balloon angioplasty is a method of choice.

Materials and methods: we present a case report of successful recanalization and balloon angioplasty of left brachiocephalic vein in a patient, undergoing chronic hemodialysis with a functioning arteriovenous fistula on left forearm .

Results: the absence of restenosis during a year is an evidence of the effectiveness of this methoc as a treatment of central vein stenosis or occlusion in order to preserve and increase duration of use of permanent vascular access.
