Percutaneous arteriovenous fistula creation is a minimally invasive procedure used to create a fistula between an artery and a vein, which serves as an access point for hemodialysis. The procedure involves inserting a catheter and performing the creation of the fistula under local anesthesia, offering a quicker recovery time compared to traditional open surgery.

This procedure is essential for patients who require long-term hemodialysis, providing a functional and reliable access site to facilitate the dialysis process.
