Results
Of all angioplasties performed,
19 were prophylactic,
with a mean time interval between them of about 2.2 months.
Of 27 angioplasties performed,
there were no immediate complications,
getting a good post angioplasty flow in 100% of cases,
objectified by physical examination and ReoCath catheter's flow measurement.
(Fig. 14 ) The most common lesion was dilated venous anastomosis (#10). Table 1
We had no immediate complications during thrombectomy resulting in permeability and good flows immediately post interventional.
In 24 cases the flow was measured with ReoCath catheter,
showing an average flow of 1120 ml / min.
In 22 cases the flow was measured by ultrasound,
showing an average flow of 1287 ml / min.
Overall results:
- Of 8 PTFE in 7 patients,
3 were functioning until the end of the follow up.
- Mean survival was 27 months (range 4-108 months).
- The secondary permeability at 6,
12 and 24 months respectively were 62.5% + / -17.1,
62.5% + / -17.1% and 37.5 + / -17.1.
