We are delighted to announce another course on the Vascular Access Pathway: AVF thrombolysis and thrombectomy: treatment strategies You will be guided by: Dr Flavia Gentile Johansson, Dr Anton Razuaev, Dr Maarten Snoeijs, Dr Matteo Tozzi & Dr Fernando Gallardo Objective: Vascular access thrombosis is a very common vascular access complication. Early thrombosis is most often due to an inflow problem and late thrombosis mostly to an outflow stenosis. If left untreated, it results in the fistula failure.
