Popis: Introduction: To compare open surgical and radiological interventions for thrombosed arteriovenous access for dialysis. Methods: A retrospective analysis of access procedures and dialysis episodes from 1 December 2002 to 30 November 2015 with follow-up up to 1 August 2016. Hospital records and dialysis database interrogated for further interventions and length of functional use. Results: Some 128 surgical and 27 radiological thrombectomies were compared. Radiological treatment was successful in 24 (89%) cases and surgical interventions in 65 cases (51%; p Conclusion: Revision procedures significantly increase success rate of access thrombectomies. Radiological thrombectomies have higher success rates but lower intervention-free survival and need more additional procedures to maintain patency.
