AV Fistula for Dialysis in Mumbai - Dr. Kush Nandwana
By Dr. Kush Nandwana | General Surgeon & Urologist | Mumbai
About AV Fistula Surgery
Patients on long-term haemodialysis need a reliable point of access where blood can be drawn and returned during each session. An arteriovenous (AV) fistula a surgical connection between an artery and a vein, usually in the arm is the safest and longest-lasting form of access, with fewer infections than catheters or grafts.
Dr. Kush Nandwana plans each fistula using vein mapping, creates it with meticulous technique, and supports its maturation and long-term function, including timely revision when access begins to fail.
