Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the treatment success rate of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (balloon angioplasty) for peripheral and central venous stenosis in hemodialysis patients. Study Design: Retrospective/observational study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Cardiology, Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore from 1st January 2018 to 30th June 2018. Methods: Thirteen patients of both genders presenting during from two years of hemodialysis failure and ipsilateral arm and neck swelling followed by peripheral and central venous stenosis were included in this study. Patients ages were ranging from 25 to 70 years. Patient’s detailed history including hemodialysis treatment, age, sex, socio-economic status was examined after taking informed consent from the patients. Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) was performed at all the patients. Procedural success rate was examined. Results: There were 9 (69.23%) patients were men and rest (13.77%) were women. 5 (38.46%) patients were ages between 25 to 45 years, 6 (46.15%) patients had an ages 46 to 65 years and 2 (15.38%) patients were ages greater than 65 years. 10 (76.92%) had rural residency. 40 % patients had income >30000 PKR. Location and severity of lesions was examined as brachiocephalic vein, subclavian vein, Axillary vein, basilica, cephalic and median cubtal vein in 1,3,2,3,3 and 1 patients respectively. We determine priority patency rate in central lesion PTA was 82.7%, 62% and 38% at 3, 6 and 12 months and priority patency rate in peripheral lesions PTA was 87%, 79.5% and 67.8% at 3, 6 and 12 months. Conclusion: It is concluded that percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (balloon angioplasty) procedure for treatment of central and peripheral venous stenosis in hemodialysis patients was safe and effective with no procedural complications.
