Fig 1 A, Retrograde brachial angiogram and fistulogram of a brachiocephalic arteriovenous fistula (AVF) through a hydrophilic catheter advanced into the brachial artery via a tapered radial artery sheath. Note the visualization of both arterial and venous limbs with identification of a juxta-anastomotic stenosis. B, Central venogram through a transradial approach (TRA). C, Juxta-anastomotic lesion crossed and treated with angioplasty using a 7-mm × 40-mm balloon. D, Completion angiogram documents successful treatment of juxta-anastomotic lesion with resolution of stenosis.

Fig 2 Kaplan-Meier curve of estimated functional patency after treatment from a transradial approach (TRA). The crosses indicated censored observations, and the dotted lines represent 95% confidence intervals.
