Fig. 4C. Three patients with stents involving anastomosis. 42-year-old
woman with radiocephalic fistula in left forearm. A nitinol stent was deployed
with 23 mm protruding into anastomosis (arrow, C). The
follow-up venogram 14 months after stent placement revealed retrograde blood
supply from ulnar artery to vascular access. UA = ulnar artery; RA = radial
artery; DRA = distal radial artery. E and F, 71-year-old woman
with radiocephalic fistula in left forearm. Recoil stenosis (arrow,
E) of peripheral outflow near arteriovenous anastomosis (AVA) after
balloon dilatation was noted. Wallstent was deployed across anastomosis into
supplying radial artery. Access was maintained patent for 22 months
(secondary), until the end of the study. RA = radial artery.
