Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To demonstrate feasibility of endothelial cell (EC) biopsy from dialysis arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) with the use of guidewires and to characterize gene expression differences between ECs from stenotic and nonstenotic outflow vein segments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Nine consecutive patients undergoing fistulography for AVF dysfunction from June to August 2016 were enrolled. ECs were biopsied with the use...
