• Sixteen balloon angioplasties were performed in 10 patients with upper-extremity dialysis access shunts. The initial success rate was 80% (12/15). Of the initial successes, 58% (7/12) were patent at six months and 13% (1/8) at one year. In nine cases, repeat PTA was necessary. The mean interval of patency was about four months. The longest interval was two and a half years. The complication of thrombosis of the loop shunt during PTA was successfully treated by fibrinolytic therapy.
