Implantation of a haemodialysis arteriovenous graft is often followed by the development of neointimal hyperplasia (NH) at the venous anastomosis. The nature of the proliferating cells in these lesions is not well understood. A better understanding of the cells contributing to NH is important to the development of preventive strategies.
