and 29% vs 72% at 6 months. The primary patency rates of stent graft vs balloon groups at 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months were 91.7%, 83.2%, and 46.9% vs 65.3%, 27.8%, and 7.8%. The mean primary patency after treatment was 380.22 6 28.54 days for the stent graft group and 151.08 6 16.79 days for balloon group. Conclusions: Stent graft provides a better solution over plain balloon angioplasty on hemodialysis graft outlet stenosis treatment, with a lower postintervention restenosis rate and longer primary patency.
