About This Treatment

What Is Fistula & Graft Care?

An arteriovenous (AV) fistula or graft is a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein, providing reliable access for hemodialysis. This access point allows blood to flow to the dialysis machine for filtering and back to your body.

Proper care and maintenance of your fistula or graft is essential for successful dialysis treatments. Our specialized team provides comprehensive services from initial creation to ongoing maintenance and repair when needed.

Types of Dialysis Access We Manage

  • AV Fistula: Direct connection between artery and vein (preferred method)
  • AV Graft: Synthetic tube connecting artery to vein
  • Catheter Access: For patients who need immediate dialysis
