Best Doctors for Av Fistula Surgery in Hyderabad

An AV fistula is the presence of an abnormal connection between an artery that carries oxygenated blood from the heart and a vein that carries deoxygenated blood back to the heart. In the AV fistula blood flows from the high pressure arteries directly into the veins, and the branches and smaller blood vessels below the level of the AV fistula do not receive blood supply. An AV fistula is also sometimes artificially created to aid in a procedure called hemodialysis that is done for the treatment of kidney failure. Symptoms of an AV fistula depend on the location of the fistula site, and they can be mild or severe. AV fistulas can form due to genetic conditions, injuries, congenital deformities, and surgical procedures, and the risk is higher in women, use of certain medications, high blood pressure, and obesity.  AV fistulas are generally treated with surgical procedures or minimally invasive embolization procedures to close the abnormal connections.
