Creating and monitoring dialysis connections
Creation and Follow-up of Dialysis Fistulas
An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the best and safest option for kidney failure patients who require regular dialysis sessions. Dr. Amr Abu Al-Rous offers AVF creation and follow-up services using the latest surgical and interventional techniques to ensure the fistula's efficiency and optimal functionality.
When do you need a dialysis fistula?
* Chronic kidney failure and the need for regular dialysis.
* Preparing to start dialysis sessions in the near future.
* Problems or weakness in the existing fistula.
* Reduced dialysis efficiency due to poor blood flow.
* Blockage or narrowing of the arteriovenous fistula.
* The need to replace or repair a previous fistula.
Our Vascular Fistula Services
1- Arteriovenous Fistula Creation
A delicate surgical procedure in which an artery is connected to a vein to increase blood flow within the vein, making it suitable for safe and effective dialysis sessions.
2- Preoperative Vascular Assessment
Arteries and veins are examined using ultrasound and duplex imaging to determine the optimal location for grafting and ensure the highest success rates.
3- Monitoring Fragment Efficiency
Regular follow-up is conducted to ensure the integrity of the graft and the efficiency of blood flow through it, with early detection of any problems that may affect its performance.
4- Treating Fragment Narrowing or Blockage
Interventional catheterization or surgical intervention is used to treat narrowing or blockage and restore graft efficiency without the need for a new graft in many cases.
5- Repairing Vascular Fragments
Appropriate solutions are provided to treat complications that may affect the graft, such as reduced blood flow, venous aneurysms, or recurrent thrombosis.
Service Advantages
* Accurate vascular assessment before the procedure.
* Use of the latest surgical and interventional techniques.
* High success rates for vascular grafts.
* Regular follow-up to maintain graft efficiency.
* Prompt intervention to treat any complications or future problems.
* Improved quality of dialysis sessions and patient comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is an arteriovenous fistula?
It is a surgically created connection between an artery and a vein to increase blood flow within the vein and prepare it for use during dialysis sessions.
2. How long does the fistula creation procedure take?
The procedure is usually completed within a short period, and its duration varies depending on the patient's condition and the nature of the blood vessels.
3. Does the fistula require regular follow-up?
Yes, regular follow-up helps detect any narrowing or blockage early and maintain the fistula's efficiency over the long term.
4. What should I do if I notice a decrease in blood flow or swelling in my arm?
It is advisable to consult a doctor immediately to assess the connection and intervene quickly before any complications occur that affect the dialysis sessions.
