This page gives you information about how we create an Arterio-Venous (AV) fistula. We want you to have the information you need before you agree to have the procedure carried out.
This information does not replace any discussions between you and your doctor. Please ask your doctor any questions you may have, so that you fully understand what is involved. If you take warfarin, clopidogrel or any other blood thinning medications you must let your surgeon and the Pre-assessment Clinic staff know.
