Cost of AV Graft Placement in India

Treatment overview

AV graft placement is a vascular surgery procedure performed to create reliable, long-term access to the bloodstream for patients with end-stage kidney disease who require hemodialysis. A soft synthetic tube — most commonly made from expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) — is surgically placed under the skin, usually in the arm, to connect an artery directly to a vein. This creates a durable, high-flow conduit that can withstand repeated needle punctures during dialysis sessions, typically three times a week. An AV graft is often chosen when a patient's own veins are unsuitable for an AV fistula, or when dialysis needs to begin sooner than a fistula could mature. The procedure takes one to two hours and is performed under regional, local, or general anaesthesia; many patients are discharged the same day or the following day.

Comprehensive Investigations

Estimated cost: ~$200 – $500

Typical tests for this treatment: Vascular mapping ultrasound (arterial and venous duplex of both arms), CBC (complete blood count), Kidney function tests and electrolytes, Coagulation profile (PT/INR, aPTT), ECG, Blood group and cross-match, Random blood sugar / HbA1c (if diabetic). Done in India before hospital admission. Cost varies with case complexity.

Treatment / Procedure estimate

Estimated cost in India: $2,500 – $4,000

Stay in India

Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~2 days

Hospitalisation: ~2 days

Recovery period (outside hospital): ~6 days recommended

Total stay: approx 10 days

Usually Included in Hospital Package
