Vascular Access Surgery

Vascular access surgery is a crucial procedure for patients who require long-term dialysis treatment. It involves creating a durable access point to the bloodstream, allowing for efficient and repeated dialysis sessions. Dr. Girish Sharma, a skilled and experienced surgeon in Karnal (Haryana), specializes in performing vascular access surgeries with a high success rate and patient satisfaction.

There are several types of vascular access, including arteriovenous (AV) fistulas, AV grafts, and central venous catheters. The most preferred method is the AV fistula, which connects an artery to a vein, offering a strong, long-lasting, and low-complication access point. Dr. Sharma carefully evaluates each patient’s condition to determine the most suitable type of access for their needs.

Timely vascular access surgery is essential to avoid delays in dialysis treatment. Dr. Girish Sharma uses advanced surgical techniques to ensure minimal discomfort, quick recovery, and reduced risk of infection. He also provides post-surgical care and follow-up to monitor the functionality and health of the access site.

Choosing the right surgeon for vascular access is vital for ongoing dialysis success. With extensive experience and a patient-first approach, Dr. Girish Sharma in Karnal (Haryana), offers expert care and personalized solutions for every patient.

FAQs – Vascular Access Surgery

Q. What is an AV fistula and why is it needed?

An AV fistula is a connection between an artery and a vein, usually created in the arm. It provides a strong and reliable access point for hemodialysis, allowing blood to flow efficiently through the dialysis machine.

Q. How long does it take for an AV fistula to be ready for use?

It usually takes 4 to 8 weeks for the AV fistula to mature and become strong enough for regular dialysis use. In some cases, it may take longer.

Q. Is AV fistula surgery painful?

The surgery is done under local or general anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Mild discomfort or swelling after surgery is common and manageable with medications.

Q. What are the risks involved in vascular access surgery?

While generally safe, possible risks include bleeding, infection, or fistula failure. Dr. Sharma takes all precautions to minimize these risks and ensure successful outcomes.

Q. What happens if my AV fistula gets blocked?

If your AV fistula becomes blocked, Dr. Girish Sharma can perform a thrombectomy to remove the clot or a fistula revision to restore proper blood flow and maintain access for dialysis.
