Arteriovenous Interventions: Understanding Arterio-Venous Fistuloplasty
Arteriovenous fistulas are abnormal connections between arteries and veins. These connections can cause poor blood flow, aneurysms, and an increased risk of blood clots. Arteriovenous fistuloplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that can correct these issues, improving blood flow and reducing the risk of complications.
In this article, we will discuss the role of arteriovenous interventions, focusing on arterio-venous fistuloplasty and how it is used at Subang Jaya Medical Centre (SJMC) to provide safe and effective care to patients.
Arterio-Venous Fistuloplasty
Arterio-venous fistuloplasty is a procedure that is used to repair abnormal connections between arteries and veins. This procedure involves the use of a catheter, which is inserted into the affected area through a small incision. The catheter is then used to deliver a balloon or stent to the arteriovenous fistula site. The balloon or stent is inflated, which pushes the walls of the artery and vein apart, creating a larger opening.
Benefits
Arterio-venous fistuloplasty has many benefits for patients:
This procedure can improve blood flow, reducing the risk of blood clots and other complications.
It can also help to reduce pain and discomfort caused by the abnormal connection between the artery and vein.
Arterio-venous fistuloplasty is a minimally invasive procedure, meaning patients experience less pain, scarring, and a shorter recovery time than traditional surgical options.
Potential Side Effects
As with any medical procedure, there are potential side effects associated with arterio-venous fistuloplasty. These side effects can include bleeding, infection, and damage to the artery or vein. However, the risk of complications is low, and our experienced VIR specialists take all necessary precautions to minimise the risk of adverse effects.
Arteriovenous fistuloplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that can significantly benefit patients with abnormal connections between arteries and veins. It is a safe and effective treatment option that can improve blood flow, reduce the risk of complications, and reduce pain and discomfort.
