Creation and Maintenance Of Dialysis Access

Creation and Maintenance of Dialysis Access

is crucial for patients with chronic kidney disease who require hemodialysis. To facilitate effective treatment, access points are surgically created to allow blood to flow from the body to the dialysis machine and back. Common types of dialysis access include AV fistulas, AV grafts, and dialysis catheters.

AV Fistulas – A direct connection between an artery and vein, usually in the arm, creating a reliable access point for dialysis

Dialysis Catheters – Temporary or permanent tubes inserted into large veins, providing access for dialysis when other options are unavailable or in emergency situations.

AV Grafts – A synthetic tube used to connect an artery and vein when an AV fistula is not possible due to poor vein quality.
