Restoring Patency with Surgical Precision
Patch angioplasty is a surgical technique used to repair narrowed or damaged segments of AV fistulas or AV grafts by widening the vessel with a patch of vein or synthetic material. This method restores adequate blood flow, resolves stenosis, and helps maintain long-term functionality of the dialysis access.
