Abstract
Thrombosis of AV access can be considered a renal "emergency" that requires urgent intervention. Percutaneous declotting of AV access is minimally invasive, well tolerated by most patients, and can be easily arranged and performed in an outpatient setting. It is therefore the preferred technique for salvage of thrombosed AV access compared to traditional open surgical thrombectomy. With the advent of interventional nephrology as a subspecialty, declotting of the AV access can now be performed swiftly with minimal disruption to the dialysis schedule of the patients.
