Arteriovenous (AV) dialysis access intervention aims to improve or maintain flow by treating underlying stenosis and/or thrombosis with thrombectomy/thrombolysis, angioplasty, and/or stent placement. However, in some scenarios, coil embolization may be effective and necessary to improve fistula/graft function. Here we present a case series of 20 patients who underwent coil embolization in the course of their dialysis access intervention for indications such as AV fistula creation, aneurysm formation, poor fistula maturation, and poor venous outflow due to venous collaterals.
