In recent years,ultrasound-guided percutaneous transluminal angioplasty(PTA)has been widely used for the treatment of stenotic or occlusive lesions in hemodialysis vascular access.However,there is currently a dearth of clinical guidelines or expert consensus for this technology.Therefore,it becomes an urgent problem in the field of hemodialysis vascular access how to further standardize the clinical procedures of ultrasound-guided PTA to ensure its efficacy and safety in clinical diagnosis and treatment.For this purpose,Chinese consensus expert group on ultrasound interventional therapy for hemodialysis vascular access has formulated this"Expert consensus on ultrasound interventional therapy for hemodialysis vascular access in China(2024)".The present consensus encompasses several key aspects,including preoperative assessment,ultrasound diagnostic procedures,interventional treatment standards,surgical operating procedures,and strategies for managing complications.It aims to provide practical guidance for clinicians to improve treatment outcomes,mitigate the risk of complications,and enhance patients'quality of life.The promotion of this consensus is expected to facilitate the standardized application and popularization of ultrasound interventional techniques in the treatment of arteriovenous dialysis access.
