Abstract
There is a common belief, grounded in previous hemodynamic research,1 that PTA of a brachial artery (BA) stenosis peripheral to hemodialysis access anastomosis would worsen dialysis access steal syndrome (DASS) by permitting greater retrograde flow into the access. To test this theory, this study compared outcomes of DASS patients who did versus did not receive PTA for distal BA stenosis.
