1. To review the common categories of endovascular stents 2. To describe the indications for endovascular stent placement in hemodialysis access with an up-to-date literature review 3. To learn about potential stent complications and become familiar with management of fractured, misplaced and migrated endovascular stents  

Dialysis Access Endovascular Stent Categories - Self-expandable stents (Bare metal stents)     • Stainless steel     • Nitinol alloys - Stent grafts (Covered Stents) - Balloon expandable stent (Mostly unsuitable for central and peripheral venous interventions) - Drug-eluting stents (Not yet evaluated clinically)   Indications for Stent Placement in Dialysis Vascular Access Abnormalities, Up-to-Date Literature Review and Case Based Examples - Recurrent stenosis - Elastic lesion - Vein rupture - Venous anastomosis stenosis - Extrinsic compression - Pseudoaneurysm formation - In-stent retenosis Endovascular Stent Complications, Controversies and Case Based Illustration of Management Options - Stent Fracture - Stent Misplacement - Stent Migration
