What is a PRE-OPERATIVE AV FISTULA MAPPING(UPPER LIMB)?

Pre-Operative AV Fistula Mapping (Upper Limb) is a non-invasive Color Doppler ultrasound examination that evaluates the arteries and veins of the arm before AV fistula surgery. It helps identify the most suitable blood vessels for dialysis access, improving surgical planning and increasing the chances of a successful AV fistula.

Why is AV Fistula Mapping performed before surgery?

The examination helps surgeons select the best artery and vein for creating an AV fistula, improving the success of the procedure and reducing the risk of complications.

Who needs Pre-Operative AV Fistula Mapping?

It is recommended for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) who are preparing for hemodialysis and require an AV fistula.

Is Pre-Operative AV Fistula Mapping safe?

Yes. It is a safe, radiation-free ultrasound examination that uses sound waves and has no known significant risks or side effects.

Can the examination determine which arm is better for surgery?

Yes. The Doppler study evaluates both upper limbs (if requested) or the affected limb to help the vascular surgeon choose the most suitable arm and blood vessels for AV fistula creation.
