Ask Dr. Z

"The left radial to perforator arteriovenous fistula is patent.  There is early filling of the brachial vein. selection of the AV anastomosis and drug coated balloon angioplasty of the AV anastomosis and the perforator vein was done, Volume flows demonstrated adequate flow in the perforator vein and decreased insufficient flow in the cephalic vein.  Decision was made to coil the brachial veins-multiple Nester coils were deployed in brachial vein. Decision was to band the distal basilic vein.  0.018 wire was advanced into the basilic vein.  Over the wire, 2 mm balloon was inflated. silk suture used to band basilic vein."

Would this px be revision? 36832- angioplasty of the arteriovenous anastomosis, coiling of the brachial vein, and banding of the basilic vein were done.
