Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for Brescia-Cimino hemodialysis fistula dysfunction: technical success rate, patency rate and factors that influence the results Kiyosumi Maeda, Akira Furukawa, Michio Yamasaki, Kiyoshi Murata European Journal of Radiology Volume 54, Issue 3, Pages 426-430 (June 2005) DOI: 10.1016/j.ejrad.2004.07.011 Copyright © 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd Terms and Conditions
Fig. 1 Cumulative patency rate; comparison between primary and secondary patency rates of fistulas after successful treatments by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty procedures. Cumulative patency rates at 1-year are 53 and 84%, respectively.

Fig. 2 Cumulative patency rate; comparison of primary patency rates of fistulas after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty by the age of fistula (≤6M vs. >6M). The patency rate for the younger fistulas was lower than that for the older fistulas with a statistical significance (P = 0.015).

Fig. 3 Cumulative patency rate; comparison of primary patency rates by the length of main lesion (>4cm vs. ≤4cm). The patency rate for the longer lesions is lower than that for the shorter lesions with a statistical significance (P = 0.003).
