The endovascular salvage of occluded autogenous radial-cephalic fistulae is a more challenging procedure than that for stenotic fistulae. To obtain an access to the fistula is one of the keys to success. Both retrograde venous approach and brachial artery approach have some disadvantages. The radial artery approach has been used in the endovascular therapy of fistula dysfunction, but few data focused on their feasibility and safety for the totally occluded fistulae.
