Thrombosis on av festula
Patient on dialysis from av festula in left hand from last 1 year. On last dialysis season blood flow is low so dialysis team tell us to check it with vascular doctor. Vascular doctor check the vein and tell vein above festula is reduce its diameter due to thrombosis and they correct it by insert wire with ballon. I search it in internet and some sites tell that there is chance of vein burst. I am totally scared what we could do. Is there any other option to correct the vein without insert wire.is it really dengerous. Pls. Suggest.
