Dialysis treatment is a life-saving method for patients with kidney failure. However, this treatment requires creating an appropriate vascular access in the body. Vascular access procedures for dialysis patients provide the necessary blood connection for the dialysis machine. The most common procedures are fistula creation and catheter placement.

Fistula Creation:
A fistula usually connects an artery and a vein in the patient’s arm, creating a suitable vascular access for dialysis. Fistula creation is less invasive than surgery and improves blood flow, allowing smooth dialysis treatment. Successful fistula creation depends on selecting suitable vessels and proper post-procedure care.

Catheter Placement:
Catheter placement is used when fistula creation is not possible or in emergencies. Catheters are typically placed in the patient’s neck or groin to provide a pathway for blood to reach the dialysis machine. Catheters can be temporary or permanent and play a critical role in dialysis treatment.

Op. Dr. Murat Ertürk has extensive experience in creating vascular access for dialysis patients. He applies fistula creation and catheter placement tailored to each patient and ensures the treatment process proceeds successfully. Infection risks are minimized, allowing patients to receive dialysis safely.
