[Angiographic findings due to malfunction of Cimino shunts in haemodialysis patients (author's transl)].

Both the arterial and venous limb of a Cimino shunt can be well demonstrated by injection of contrast medium into the shunt vein during transient arterial and venous ccompression with a blood pressure cuff. Twenty-four angiograms in patients with shunt malfunctions carried out in this way were analysed with respect to various vascular changes.
