Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) revealed fibrotic valve leaflets at the occlusion site. An 8\u2009mm balloon was pulled through the lesion under IVUS and fluoroscopic guidance, resulting in partial cusp rupture. A second 12\u2009mm balloon and a kissing balloon technique with a cutting balloon achieved complete valve disruption. The pressure gradient dropped from 20 to 0\u2009mmHg, and dialysis resumed without complications.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This is the first reported case of IVUS-guided balloon-assisted cusp avulsion (BACA) technique for treating fibrotic venous valve stenosis.
