The size of vessels or preexisting stenotic lesions of artery or vein are no longer considered absolute exclusion criteria for the creation of distal AVF, but huge arterial calcification still represents an indication to create upper arm AVF. A novel approach to treat arterial calcifications is represented by intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). This technique could represent a valid option to save failed to mature AVF due to extended calcified artery. We describe a case of a male patient, 43\u2009years old with middle forearm AVF failed to mature with a completely calcified radial artery, low brachial flow (Qa) and small efferent vein. We treated the patient AVF with less invasive, percutaneous, endovascular, eco-guided IVL on the entire radial artery. After the procedure was observed a rapid increase of Qa, with reduction of calcification in the arterial wall, increase of arterial caliper and flow. This procedure could represent a valid alternative to surgical upper-arm AVF creation in patient with functioning but failed to mature fistula due to spread artery calcification, with a rapid, less invasive procedure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/11297298221147600","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,4]],"date-time":"2023-01-04T23:59:05Z","timestamp":1672876745000},"page":"637-641","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Percutaneous ecoguided endovascular lithotripsy to recruit failed-to-mature arteriovenous fistula due to completely calcified radial artery"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1072-4005","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Taurisano","family":"Marco","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Hospital Di Venere and John XXIII, Puglia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mancini","family":"Andrea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Hospital Di Venere and John XXIII, Puglia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"D\u2019elia","family":"Filomena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nephrology, Hospital Di Venere and John XXIII, Puglia, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.ajkd.2019.12.001"},{"issue":"2","key":"bibr2-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"137","DOI":"10.5301\/JVA.2011.7425","volume":"12","author":"Bourquelot P.","year":"2011","journal-title":"J Vasc Access"},{"key":"bibr3-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5301\/jva.5000304"},{"key":"bibr4-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0741-5214(03)00732-8"},{"key":"bibr5-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.surge.2016.02.001"},{"key":"bibr6-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1523-1755.2005.00355.x"},{"key":"bibr7-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1523-1755.2001.00031.x"},{"key":"bibr8-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5301\/jva.5000097"},{"issue":"3","key":"bibr9-11297298221147600","volume":"13","author":"Sadasivan K","year":"2021","journal-title":"Cureus"},{"issue":"6","key":"bibr10-11297298221147600","volume":"37","author":"Napoli M","year":"2020","journal-title":"G Ital Nefrol"},{"key":"bibr11-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5301\/jva.5000327"},{"key":"bibr12-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/sdi.12365"},{"key":"bibr13-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ccd.28729"},{"key":"bibr14-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIRCINTERVENTIONS.119.008154"},{"key":"bibr15-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4103\/ijves.ijves_56_19"},{"key":"bibr16-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvs.2008.10.061"},{"key":"bibr17-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2215\/CJN.00360705"},{"key":"bibr18-11297298221147600","first-page":"112972982110170","volume":"2021","author":"Napoli M","journal-title":"J Vasc Access"},{"key":"bibr19-11297298221147600","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0954411920926077"}],"container-title":["The Journal of Vascular Access"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/11297298221147600","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/11297298221147600","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/11297298221147600","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,2]],"date-time":"2026-05-02T03:22:07Z","timestamp":1777692127000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/11297298221147600"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,4]]},"references-count":19,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2024,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/11297298221147600"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/11297298221147600","relation":{},"ISSN":["1129-7298","1724-6032"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1129-7298","type":"print"},{"value":"1724-6032","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,4]]}}}
