Application of Intravascular Ultrasound in End-Stage Renal Patients with Central Venous Occlusive Disease

Ross G McFall et al. Methodist Debakey Cardiovasc J. 2018 Jul-Sep.

Abstract

Central venous occlusive disease is frequently observed in patients with end-stage renal disease. Venography remains the gold standard for diagnosis, but intravascular ultrasound is a potentially beneficial adjunct that may positively influence intervention.

Keywords: ESRD; IVUS; central venous stenosis; end-stage renal disease; intravascular ultrasound.
