Angiography of the dialysis access is an important procedure in dealing with dialysis arteriovenous access ( AVA ) dysfunction. It is an integral part and the initiating procedure for all the interventional procedures performed for the management and salvage of dialysis AVA . The performance of this procedure and normal dialysis access‐related anatomy including anatomical variants are discussed. In addition, pathology commonly encountered in association with the anatomy is reviewed.
