Popis: We implanted a fluoropolymer-based paclitaxel-eluting stent (FP-PES) in four hemodialysis patients with refractory outflow venous stenosis of their arteriovenous graft. The mean observation period after FP-PES implantation was 11.5 ± 4.7 months (range, 7.0-18.0 months). After FP-PES implantation, the patients were evaluated by ultrasound every 3 months. No of the patients experienced neointimal hyperplasia in the stents during the observation period, and no reintervention was performed. FP-PESs could be an attractive alternative to percutaneous transluminal angioplasty for patients with refractory outflow venous stenosis of arteriovenous hemodialysis grafts.
