Pristyn Care has some of the highly experienced vascular doctors in Chennai. They all are skilled and perform the advanced and best suitable surgery for effective AV fistula creation. The following are different techniques through which AV fistula for dialysis can be performed-

• Radial Cephalic Fistula-Typically, it is very difficult to create this type of fistula. The radial artery and the cephalic vein are connected for anastomosis. The radial cephalic fistula has lower blood flow as compared to the other two types but it preserves the arm vessels in a better way. It is usually the first choice for hemodialysis access.
• Brachial Cephalic Fistula-This type of fistula is created using the cephalic vein in the upper arm and connecting it to the brachial artery. Since the size of the blood vessels in the arm is larger, the fistula is easy to create. It generally requires minimal dissection and also has a larger possible selection of cannulation sites. The brachial cephalic fistula permits more blood to flow through the blood vessels during dialysis treatment but also has a higher risk of steal syndrome.
• Brachial Basilic Fistula- This type of arteriovenous fistula requires the vein to be elevated and transposed to achieve stable vascular access. The connection is made between a mobilized vein (deep vein) to a superficial artery. It can be preserved in a better way but also has a higher rate of patient morbidity as compared to other fistulas. It is typically created in patients who have had failed access procedures multiple times.
