Deb,

My vein pressure was increasing so I went and
had my vein opened by angioplasty. The dr. said he was surprised they could do dialysis at all because it had narrowed so much.

The next day I returned to dialysis but the vein pressure was still the same. Does this
mean the angioplasty didn't work.

Sarge,
The venous pressure you are referring to is the venous pressure at your ordered bloodflow or at 200ml/min (dynamic VP) or at 0 ml/min (static VP)? What is the pressure at and what flow?
