AV Fistula

Gold standard vascular access for safe and long-term dialysis.

AV Fistula

What is an AV Fistula?

An Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula is a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein, usually in the arm, to allow efficient blood flow for hemodialysis.

It is considered the gold standard for long-term dialysis access due to better durability and lower infection risk.

Benefits of AV Fistula

  • Lower risk of infection
  • Better blood flow for dialysis
  • Long-lasting access option
  • Fewer complications compared to catheters

FAQs

AV fistula provides better blood flow, lower infection risk, and longer durability compared to grafts or catheters.

It usually takes 4–8 weeks for the fistula to mature before it can be used for dialysis.

Minor risks exist as with any surgery, but AV fistula has significantly fewer complications compared to other dialysis access methods.
