AV Hemodialysis Access Stent Graft

Definition

An AV hemodialysis access stent graft is a medical device used to maintain the patency of an arteriovenous (AV) access site for patients undergoing hemodialysis. It is a tube-like structure made of synthetic material, which is inserted into the AV access site to prevent narrowing or blockage, ensuring efficient blood flow during hemodialysis treatment.
