Balloon-assisted cusp avulsion technique for subclavian venous valve stenosis in a hemodialysis patient: A case report with IVUS confirmation
This is the first reported case of IVUS-guided balloon-assisted cusp avulsion (BACA) technique for treating fibrotic venous valve stenosis. This approach may offer a viable stentless option when conventional stenting is not feasible due to anatomical or technical limitations.
