Drug Eluting Balloon Angioplasty for Recurrent Cephalic Arch Stenosis in Dialysis Fistulas

Summary

This study is designed to compare the safety and efficacy of paclitaxel-eluting balloon (DEB) versus conventional percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) for the treatment of hemodynamically significant recurrent cephalic arch stenosis in brachial cephalic fistulas in hemodialysis patients.
