Two of the most common options for long term dialysis access are arteriovenous (av) fistulas and arteriovenous (av) grafts. understanding the differences between these two options can help you make informed decisions about the best access choice. A fistula and a graft are both ways of gaining access to the blood vessels so that hemodialysis can be done. fistulas are normally done first and then if this does not work, a graft is done. As a hemodialysis patient, your access is one of the following: fistula: an access made by joining an artery and vein in your arm. graft: an access made by using a piece of soft tube to join an artery and vein in your arm. catheter: a soft tube that is placed in a large vein, usually in your neck.

Learn about the types of hemodialysis access sites—fistula, graft, and catheter—available for people who are starting hemodialysis. A fistula is a vein so it’s going to feel like a vein; that is spongy. a graft is a synthetic tube so it’s going to feel like a synthetic tube, firmer and formed. Av fistula, used for long term dialysis, connects a selected artery and a vein directly. an av graft connects the artery and vein indirectly, through a tube and graft. Research shows that fistulas are less likely to become infected or develop blood clots compared to grafts or central venous catheters. in fact, av fistulas have a reported patency (open and functioning) rate of 64% after one year, compared to just 50% for grafts and significantly lower for catheters. * (source: national kidney foundation)*.
