Treatment overview

AV fistula creation is a short surgical procedure that connects an artery directly to a vein in the arm, creating a robust access point for long-term haemodialysis. When arterial blood flows into the vein, the vein gradually enlarges and develops thicker walls — a process called maturation — making it strong enough to be needled three times a week for dialysis. The procedure is typically done as a day case under local anaesthesia or a regional nerve block, with the patient going home the same day. It is the preferred form of dialysis access for most people with end-stage kidney disease because it uses the patient's own blood vessels, carries the lowest infection risk of any access type, and tends to last longer than grafts or catheters. After surgery, the fistula usually requires six to twelve weeks to mature before it can be used for dialysis.

2 approaches available for this treatment / procedure:
