---- Overview ----

What is an AV Fistula?

An AV fistula is a surgical connection made between an artery and a vein, usually in the arm. It allows increased blood flow, which helps dialysis treatments work more effectively. AV fistulas are considered the gold standard for dialysis access due to their durability and lower risk of infection compared to catheters or grafts.
