Understanding the Procedure

Understanding Haemodialysis Fistuloplasty

A narrowing can reduce dialysis-access flow or affect dialysis performance. Fistuloplasty uses a balloon to treat selected stenoses.

The procedure does not guarantee long-term access function; surveillance and further treatment may still be required.

Before diagnostic sampling

Understand the sample, planning and follow-up

Planning Haemodialysis Fistuloplasty around the clinical question

Haemodialysis Fistuloplasty is considered after the referral, symptoms and relevant imaging have been reviewed. The procedure team needs to confirm that the proposed approach addresses the treating clinician’s question and is appropriate for the target anatomy.

Previous ultrasound, CT, MRI, angiography or laboratory reports may change planning. Bring the most recent records and a current medicine list so preparation can be individualised.

Preparation, observation and the next clinical step

Fasting, blood tests, medicine instructions, local anaesthesia, sedation and observation vary by procedure. Do not stop prescribed medicines unless the treating or procedure team provides specific advice.

Recovery and follow-up depend on the treated area and clinical condition. The procedure report should be reviewed with the treating team together with symptoms, laboratory findings and subsequent imaging where advised.

Image Guidance

How image guidance helps

Imaging supports localisation and planning, but it does not eliminate procedure-related risks or guarantee a diagnostic or treatment outcome.

  • Imaging is used to review the target anatomy and plan an appropriate access route.
  • The exact technique depends on prior imaging, blood reports, medicines and the patient’s clinical condition.
  • Image guidance supports planning and monitoring but does not eliminate procedure-related risks.
