The Arteriovenous fistula may never mature to support dialysis due to venous stenosis and the presence of accessory veins. It may also fail later on due to clotting. The most common complication occurs when the fistula fails to mature.
Arteriovenous grafts are a type of vascular access. It is a connection of a vein and artery that utilizes a hollow synthetic tube called graft. The graft is placed in the arm or the leg . The graft creation is a surgical procedure that requires a small incision under the skin where the loop is created and sewn to the vein. This loop gives space to access the graft. The grafts have a lifespan of two to three years. They are more...
