The document describes a case study of a 70-year old male patient with diabetes who received an AV dialytic fistula in his left forearm 14 days prior. Diagnostic angiography revealed a significant 16 mm occlusion in the vein 5 cm from the fistula, with some arterial stenosis. The patient underwent a procedure using an ELUTAX paclitaxel eluting balloon to dilate the occlusion. Post-procedure contrast injections and Doppler sonography showed the dilation was successful in restoring excellent blood flow without any remaining stenosis.

of the vein 5 cm from the point of the fistula with 16 mm length. Some signs of stenosis in the arterial part that reverted to normal without a PTA procedure.
Procedure: Dilatation using ELUTAX paclitaxel
eluting balloon 4,0 õ 39 with twice inflation for 20 seconds each. The outcome was excellent, without any remaining stenosis after dilatation.
Control contrast injections show perfect filling
of the out-flowing venous system.
Control Doppler sonography shows excellent
bloodflow in the dilatation zone with a maximum systolic speed of 221 cm/sec.
The speed in the incoming arterial segment is 70 cm/sec.
