Expert AV Fistula Surgery by Dr. Luv Luthra | Top Vascular Surgeon Ludhiana

AV fistula Specialist in ludhiana

When the kidneys fail to work, they are unable to filter and clean your blood as they are supposed to. This implies that wastes and excess fluid begin to accumulate in the body, and this is hazardous. Should this occur, you might be advised to undergo a procedure referred to as hemodialysis. You can just imagine having an engine perform a task that your kidneys did previously- filter your blood and get rid of the refuse and the excess water you do not require in your body.

Understanding Dialysis Access

Patients undergoing hemodialysis must have a successful vascular access point before dialysis becomes possible, where blood may be passed out of the body into the hemodialysis machine and back into the body. Special surgery is also needed to construct a proper access site, as natural arteries and veins are usually too small to be used in this process.

What is an AV Fistula?

Arteriovenous (AV) Fistula is the best dialysis access. This is an operation based on joining an artery straight with a vein under your arm. When they are compounded together, the enhanced pressure supplied into the artery episodes the walls of the vein to be thicker and stronger so as to form a firm point of access which is capable of handling multiple needle jabs into it during dialysis procedures.

The Best Doctor for AV Fistula in Ludhiana, Dr. Luv Luthra , explains that an AV fistula typically requires 4-6 weeks to mature before it can be safely used for dialysis. When healed correctly, though, this is a reliable means of access that can last many years, making it the favorite of patients who need a long-term solution to dialysis treatment.

Types of Dialysis Access We Provide

Our hospital offers three main types of vascular access:
  • AV Fistula: The preferred long-term solution, created by directly connecting an artery to a vein. This natural connection provides excellent blood flow and durability.
  • AV Graft: When an AV fistula isn't possible, we use a synthetic tube to connect an artery to a vein. This option is typically ready for use within 2-3 weeks.
  • Temporary Catheter: A temporary solution placed in a large neck or chest vein and left in place as an AV fistula matures.

Pre-Surgery Evaluation

Before AV Fistula Surgery with Dr. Luv Luthra, the patient is thoroughly examined, including a Doppler ultrasound to analyze the state of blood vessels. Other tests can comprise ECG, blood tests, urine, and chest X-rays to facilitate the planning of the surgery so that it will take place to the best advantage and the patient will be safe.

Post-Operative Care and Recovery

Patients, after surgery, are advised in detail on how they should take care of their new access site. It involves avoiding heavy lifting, watching that there is a proper blood flow (a so-called thrill), having the area kept clean, and avoiding injury to it. The follow-up visits also make the fistula mature well and stay functional.
