Right Way Endovascular Device Guide

Unmet NeedMore than 700,000 patients in the United States are on hemodialysis. Grafts (shunts) are the most common way to perform life-sustaining hemodialysis. Over time, shunts start to clot, and require additional procedures in order to restore function. As areas of shunt degradation or malfunction are often multifocal, two shunt access points oriented...
