Effect of dipyridamole plus aspirin on hemodialysis graft patency. N Engl J Med 2009 May 21;360(21):2191-201.Abstract
Arteriovenous graft stenosis leading to thrombosis is a major cause of complications in patients undergoing hemodialysis. Procedural interventions may restore patency but are costly. Although there is no proven pharmacologic therapy, dipyridamole may be promising because of its known vascular antiproliferative activity.
