The Academy is delighted to announce a new course in the Dialysis Pathway! ESVS Management of Central Venous Stenosis and Occlusion in Dialysis  You will be in the capable hands of: Flavia Gentile Roberta Brambilla Matteo Tozzi Alexandros Mallios Fernando Gallardo   Objective: Central venous stenosis and occlusions of the major intrathoracic veins (jugular, subclavian, brachiocephalic, superior vena cava) can jeopardise arteriovenous fistula/graft function, or limit access creation options in end-stage kidney disease. This workshop highlights indications/contraindications, and management options of central venous occlusion and stenosis in the ESKD patients on HD. As central venous stenosis and occlusion is a more common vascular disorder because of the rising number of patients with end stage renal disease on catheter, its treatment requires many specialists to be able to deal with this  problem.
