Angiography video of an arteriovenous fistula in the left radial of a 60-year-old patient, created for haemodialysis treatment. The fistula (dark region) is a surgical joining of an artery and vein, which will be connected to a dialysis machine during the dialysis procedure. Haemodialysis is the artificial filtering of blood outside the body, performed in cases where the kidneys are not able to filter blood as normal. Waste products such as urea are removed and the blood returned to the body through the fistula. Angiography is an imaging technique in which a radio-opaque contrast medium is injected into blood vessels to allow them to be seen on an X-ray. | |
