    Hi, great video thanks for the information. Two questions:

    - In case of having a fistula that takes a lot of time to coagulate maybe for a narrowing a the formation of aneurisms, can we make that maneuver of pressing the inflow segmente to reduce inflow and help to coagulate faster? and if so, hoy much time can we press that inflow to couse no damage to the fistula.

    - In case of making a surgery procedure to reduce the inflow, hoy much time do we have to wait to use that fistula again?
