Vascular Access

Vascular access means a vein created surgically to pass the blood outside the body for filter and purifying the blood in renal insufficiency patients.  Vascular access is a surgical procedure involves inserting a plastic catheter in the blood vessel. In dialysis patients the most appropriate site has to be determining for catheter insertion.

The two type of vascular access designed for long-term dialysis treatments are an arteriovenous (AV) fistula, which connects an artery and a vein and an AV graft, which is a looped tube. For short-term use, a catheter may be inserted into the large vein in your neck.
