Sharp recanalization of the brachiocephalic vein occlusion through the external jugular vein in hemodialysis patients

Abstract

Sharp recanalization through the EJV could be an effective and safe alternative treatment for right brachiocephalic vein occlusion in hemodialysis patients if performed by an experienced practitioner. Measuring the angle formed by the EJV and the subclavian vein might provide helpful information for selecting patients.
