AV Fistula Creation (Radiocephalic & Brachiocephalic)
Arteriovenous (AV) fistula creation is a surgical procedure that connects an artery and a vein, most commonly in the arm, to provide reliable access for hemodialysis in patients with kidney failure. The radiocephalic and brachiocephalic fistulas are the two most commonly used types, ensuring long-term function and minimal complications.

How We Perform AV Fistula Creation
Vessel Mapping
Pre-surgical Doppler ultrasound is used to identify suitable arteries and veins for fistula creation.
Precise Surgical Technique
We perform radiocephalic (wrist) or brachiocephalic (elbow) fistula creation based on vascular anatomy.
Postoperative Care
We ensure proper wound care and monitor fistula maturation to ensure it’s ready for dialysis use.
Dialysis Integration
We coordinate with dialysis centers to ensure timely and safe transition to fistula-based dialysis.
Long-Term Monitoring
Ongoing evaluations and interventions if needed to maintain long-term fistula patency and functionality.
