  • About AV Fistula

    AV fistula (AVF) stands for arteriovenous fistula, which is a surgical connection created between an artery and a vein with the help of AV shunt. The role of AV fistula is to provide a channel or access point that is capable of withstanding the dialysis treatment multiple times without causing any damage. It is generally created in the arm or legs. The fistula is important for people who have chronic kidney diseases and have to receive hemodialysis 2-3 times a week.

    If your kidney doctor or nephrologist has recommended that you should undergo AV fistula surgery for dialysis, you can get in touch with Pristyn Care and consult our vascular specialists in Pimpri chinchwad at your convenience.

    Steps Involved In AV FIstula for Dialysis Treatment

    Diagnosis for AV Fistula

    Before creating a vascular access (AV fistula) for dialysis, the vascular surgeon will ask your medical history to identify if you have any other underlying conditions. Preoperative diagnosis of the veins and arteries is also done. A thorough diagnosis of the arterial and venous system is necessary, especially for the patients who have grade 4 or 5 Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) or other conditions like diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, etc.

    Various imaging tests, such as doppler ultrasound, CT angiogram, MRA (magnetic resonance angiogram), modified Allen test, and other tests are also done to examine the axillary, brachial, radial, and ulnar pulses in both upper extremities.

    An Ultrasound or angiogram is used to determine the size and depth of the arteries and the veins to decide whether or not the blood vessels can support the AV fistula.

    The whole analysis is also known as vessel mapping. The results of the diagnostic procedures will help to determine whether AV fistula surgery is the safest option for dialysis access or not.

    The whole analysis is also known as vessel mapping. The results of the diagnostic procedures will help to determine whether AV fistula surgery is the safest option for dialysis access or not.

    AV fistula surgery for dialysis, also known as Vascular Access Surgery, is usually performed through minimally invasive techniques. The doctor will administer local anesthesia in the access site and the following steps will be carried out-

    • A small incision will be made in the surgical site to gain access to the arteries and veins. Generally, the non-dominant arm is chosen for the procedure, also known as the access arm.
    • The artery (that carries blood from the heart) and vein (that carries blood back to the heart) are joined together to make a small channel, i.e., fistula.
    • Once the AV fistula for dialysis is created, the cut is closed with the help of dissolvable stitches.

    The surgery is performed on an outpatient basis and takes around an hour to complete. The patient is discharged on the same day and the surgeon will give you specific instructions that will help you to take care of the access arm.

    What to expect during AV fistula surgery?

    The AV fistula surgery is performed on an outpatient basis at a hospital by an experienced vascular surgeon. The surgical team will clean the surgery site and start anesthesia. General or local anesthesia may be used depending on the patient’s condition.

    The surgery will be performed in the following steps

    • Once the anesthesia takes effect, an incision is made in the site.
    • The chosen vein and artery are identified and the blood flow through the chosen blood vessels is halted temporarily.
    • The artery and vein are adjoined without any external support through stitches and the blood flow is restored.
    • The incision is then closed and the fistula is left to mature over the next several months.
