Advanced Techniques for Salvaging Compromised AV Fistulas
Proximalization of the arterial inflow and RUDI (Revision Using Distal Inflow) are specialized surgical techniques used to manage dysfunctional or failing AV fistulas. These procedures redirect blood flow to optimize access function and reduce complications such as steal syndrome or high-output cardiac failure, while preserving the dialysis access site.

Procedure Overview
Detailed Assessment
Ultrasound and angiographic evaluation to determine fistula status and viability for salvage.
Proximalization Technique
Redirecting arterial inflow to a more proximal artery to improve flow and reduce symptoms.
RUDI Technique
Using a distal artery for inflow to reduce flow-related complications while maintaining fistula access.
Post-Surgery Follow-up
Monitoring with duplex scans to ensure success and long-term patency of the fistula.
