A randomized controlled trial of cutting balloons versus conventional angioplasty in arteriovenous fistula stenosis
CBA and cPTA showed similar primary patency, but CBA led to better secondary patency and radiological success. The survival advantage may be associated with better radiological results, leading to fewer resistant stenoses and unsalvageable thrombosis cases. Further prospective trials are warranted to define role of cutting balloons in different clinical scenarios, especially in recurrent or resistant stenoses.
