Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In the last decades, the percutaneous interventional approach for the treatment of central venous obstructions (CVO) has become increasingly popular as the treatment of first choice because of its minimal invasiveness and reported success rates. CVOs are caused by a diverse spectrum of diseases which can be broadly categorized into two principal eliciting genera, either benign or malignant obstructions. The large group of benign venous obstructions includes the increasing number of end-stage renal disease patients with vascular access related complications. Due to the invasiveness and complexity of thoracic surgery for benign CVOs, the less invasive percutaneous interventional therapy can generally be considered the preferred treatment option. Initially, the radiological intervention consisted of balloon angioplasty alone, subsequently additional stent placement was applied. This was advocated as either primary placement or secondary in cases of elastic recoil or residual stenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). The efficacy of angioplasty of CVO in patients with vascular accesses, either with or without stenting, has been addressed by various studies. Overall, reports indicate an initial technical and clinical success rate above 95% and satisfactory patency rates. However, systematic follow-up and frequent re-interventions are necessary to maintain vascular patency to achieve long-term success.
