Sound waves vs X-Ray: which sees blocked dialysis tubes better?
NCT ID NCT02056704
Summary
This study compared two imaging methods used to fix blocked dialysis access tubes. Researchers tested whether adding an ultrasound probe (IVUS) to the standard x-ray dye method (angiography) gave better results during repair procedures. The trial involved 66 patients whose dialysis fistulas or grafts had narrowed or clogged.
