title: The radiology of local complications of haemodialysis access devices.
abstract: Of the three types of haemodialysis access devices, radiology is of value in demonstrating local vascular complications only in the arteriovenous graft. The local complications are classified as inflow obstruction, false aneurysm and outflow obstruction. A rational angiographic technique is described and the local complications likely to be encountered are illustrated.
