title: [Value of preoperative angiography in surgery of the hemodialysis shunt].
abstract: Contrast angiography is still very important in evaluating the luminal anatomy of failing shunts and their venous runoff systems prior to intervention or surgical revision. For access monitoring, prior to primary AV fistulas or in case of a thrombosed access, angiography can be replaced by less invasive methods (physical examination, pressure measurements, color-flow doppler).
