HEALTH PLANS
Q. When do I have to adopt arteriovenous fistula surgery?
The vascular access can be used after wound swelling resolves which is about 4 weeks postoperatively therefore It is better to have the surgery done earlier than later when a complete assessment with renal function deterioration and dialysis may be needed.
Q. Do I have to dialyze after the surgery?
It is not necessary for you to dialyze immediately after the surgery, it is better to be prepared.
Q. What are the common forms of arteriovenous fistulas?
-
Native Vascular Access (arteriovenous fistulas)
-
Artificial Vascular Access (Dialysis graft)
-
Permanent cuffed tunneled catheter such as Permcath and Hickman
-
Temporary dialysis catheter such as double lumen cath
