Things That Happen When You Are In Hemodialysis Access Graft.

An artificial tube is inserted between a vein and a neighboring artery to do minor surgery. In most cases, an AV graft is placed inside the bend of your arm or in the upper arm. It may be inserted into your leg or chest wall. Before the Hemodialysis Access Graft may be used, it must be in place for at least two weeks after surgery.

 

AV Graft Pros And Cons -

 

Pros:

  • Once it's ready to use, it provides great blood flow

  • After the procedure, the access can be used to shower.

     

Cons:

  • Clotting can be a problem that may require surgery or other treatment to resolve.

  • Takes longer than an AV fistula to heal

  • May become infected faster than an AV fistula

  • Needles are put into the dialysis machine to link it to the patient.

 

What happens after my access surgery?

 

You should follow your doctor's instructions for caring for your new access after it has been implanted.
