Balloon Angioplasty for Arteriovenous Graft Stenosis
Purpose: To retrospectively review the long-term outcome as well as the cost effectiveness of thrombolytic therapy and balloon angioplasty (TBA) versus surgical thrombectomy and balloon angioplasty (SBA) in the treatment of prosthetic dialysis access grafts.
