      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 an AV shunt. The role of the 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 Total Surgicare and consult our vascular specialists in Pune at your convenience.

      Diagnosis for AV Fistula

      Before creating a vascular access (AV fistula) for dialysis, the vascular surgeon will ask about 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 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.
