  2. Arteriovenous fistula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arteriovenous_fistula

    An arteriovenous fistula is an abnormal connection or passageway between an artery and a vein. [1] It may be congenital , surgically created for hemodialysis treatments, or acquired due to pathologic process, such as trauma or erosion of an arterial aneurysm .

  3. Vascular bypass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_bypass

    An arteriovenous graft serving as a fistula for hemodialysis access. A vascular bypass is often created to serve as an access point to the circulatory system for hemodialysis. Such a bypass is referred to as an arteriovenous fistula if it directly connects a vein to an artery without using synthetic material. [citation needed]

  4. Vascular access steal syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_access_steal_syndrome

    Vascular access steal syndrome is a syndrome caused by ischemia (not enough blood flow) resulting from a vascular access device (such as an arteriovenous fistula or synthetic vascular graft–AV fistula) that was installed to provide access for the inflow and outflow of blood during hemodialysis.

  5. Cimino fistula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimino_fistula

    A Cimino fistula, also Cimino-Brescia fistula, surgically created arteriovenous fistula and (less precisely) arteriovenous fistula (often abbreviated AV fistula or AVF), is a type of vascular access for hemodialysis.

  6. Vascular access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_access

    A radiocephalic fistula. Illustration depicting AV fistula during hemodialysis. AV (arteriovenous) fistulas are recognized as the preferred access method. To create a fistula, a vascular surgeon joins an artery and a vein together through anastomosis. Since this bypasses the capillaries, blood flows rapidly through the fistula. One can feel ...

  7. Fistula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fistula

    In anatomy, a fistula (pl.: fistulas or fistulae /-l i,-l aɪ /; from Latin fistula, "tube, pipe") is an abnormal connection (i.e. tube) joining two hollow spaces (technically, two epithelialized surfaces), such as blood vessels, intestines, or other hollow organs to each other, often resulting in an abnormal flow of fluid from one space to the other.

  8. Carotid-cavernous fistula - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotid-cavernous_fistula

    A carotid-cavernous fistula results from an abnormal communication between the arterial and venous systems within the cavernous sinus in the skull. It is a type of arteriovenous fistula. As arterial blood under high pressure enters the cavernous sinus, the normal venous return to the cavernous sinus is impeded and this causes engorgement of the ...

  9. Wikipedia : Osmosis/AV Malformation

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Osmosis/AV...

    Arterio refers to the arteries, which are the the blood vessels that take blood away from the heart, and venous refers to the veins, which carry blood toward the heart. Mal- means “badly”, so an arteriovenous malformation, or AVM, is some sort of “bad” or abnormal formation between the arteries and veins.
