VASCULAR ACCESS MANAGEMENT
Dialysis Access
Dialysis is most successful if your access is functioning well. What happens when you have an issue with your fistula, graft or catheter? The most common outcomes are infection and low blood flow due to narrowing of blood clotting in the arteriovenous (AV) access. Narrowing, also known as stenosis, can lead to clot formation, which will reduce the overall effectiveness of your dialysis treatments, and eventually, blood flow through access may stop.
