External beam radiation therapy to prevent anastomotic intimal hyperplasia in prosthetic arteriovenous fistulas: results of a randomized trial

Robert B van Tongeren et al. Radiother Oncol. 2003 Oct.

External beam irradiation has a documented effect on intimal hyperplasia reduction. However, it did not result in less reinterventions or stenoses after radiation treatment of the venous anastomosis in polytetrafluoroethylene dialysis access.
