Overview An arteriovenous (AV) fistula is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein. Normally, blood flows from your arteries to your capillaries to your veins. Nutrients and oxygen in your blood travel from your capillaries to tissues in your body. With an arteriovenous fistula, blood flows directly from an artery into a vein, bypassing some capillaries. When this happens, tissues below the bypassed capillaries receive a diminished blood supply. Arteriovenous fistulas usually occur in the legs, but can develop anywhere in the body.

- Although the mature hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula is associated with fewer complications compared with other types of vascular access, when problems occur, they need to be managed effectively. The main causes of failure in a mature hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula are vascular stenotic lesions. These lesions manifest as decreased flow leading to inadequate dialysis and eventually thrombosis. Failure of the mature AVF and management will be reviewed here. Primary failure of the newly created hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula is reviewed separately as are other types of AVF dysfunction, such as hemodialysis ischemic syndrome, aneurysm formation, infection, and excess flow leading to congestive heart failure are discussed separately.
