Do [ Stents in dialysis vascular access -- do they promise improved high quality prolonged access use ]?
This study shows that the use of stents following angioplasty of dialysis access stenoses can improve the duration of use of accesses created through grafts.
Diabetes, excessive interdialytic weight gain, low ejection fraction, and low left ventricular volume are independent risk factors for intradialytic hypotension. However, no correlation was found between predialysis blood pressure values or addition of antihypertensive medications and the incidence of intradialytic hypotension. Thus, hypertension may be controlled without aggravating intradialytic hypotension in hemodialysis patients.
