Fig. 1Percutaneous manual aspiration thrombectomy of a radiocephalic AVF in the left forearm.
A. Fistulography of the AVF shows total occlusion of the radiocephalic AVF.
B. Percutaneous manual aspiration thrombectomy was performed using negative pressure from a syringe through the 7F Desilets-Hoffman Sheath.
C. In the follow-up fistulography, most of the thrombus is removed and the AVF is recanalized. A long segmental stenosis is observed in the juxta-anastomotic venous site and draining cephalic vein.
D. Balloon angioplasty was performed for the long segmental stenosis along the juxta-anastomotic venous site and draining cephalic vein using a 5 mm–4 cm balloon catheter.
E. Completion fistulography showed relatively patent flow through the radiocephalic AVF. AVF = arteriovenous fistula
