In a 71-year-old patient with a Brescia-Cimino hemodialysis fistula, high-pressure balloon dilatation failed to open the stenosis completely and a constant waist of the balloon was found. The use of a 3.5-mm coronary cutting balloon (Barath balloon) was helpful in preparing the stenosis for subsequent successful dilatation.
