title: Restoration of autologous arteriovenous fistula by vascular stripping in a hemodialysis patient with venous neointimal hyperplasia.
abstract: A significant number of arteriovenous fistulae fail because of venous neointimal hyperplasia-associated vascular blockage. We developed a surgical technique for repairing arteriovenous fistulae by surgically removing neointimal hyperplasia and vessel re-anastomosis. Here, we report the successful treatment of a case that developed arteriovenous fistula stenosis because of venous neointimal hyperplasia.
