Endovascular Techniques in AV Fistula Management

Endovascular techniques for managing arteriovenous (AV) fistulas involve minimally invasive procedures that use catheters and imaging guidance to treat problems like narrowing or blockages in the blood vessels. These methods can help improve blood flow in patients with kidney disease who rely on dialysis. Instead of open surgery, doctors make small incisions to insert tools that can repair or widen the vessels, reducing recovery time and complications. Overall, these techniques enhance the function and longevity of the AV fistula, which is crucial for effective dialysis treatment.
