Dialysis access creation is a procedure performed to create a site for dialysis, enabling patients with kidney failure to undergo regular hemodialysis treatments. This procedure is often done by creating an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) or arteriovenous graft (AVG), which provides easy access to the bloodstream for dialysis.

The goal is to create a durable access site that allows for repeated dialysis without causing complications such as infection, clotting, or poor circulation. A well-constructed access site is crucial for the success of dialysis and the patient's overall health.

Dialysis access creation is an essential step in managing kidney failure, helping patients receive life-saving treatment on a long-term basis.
