It is a specialized type type of dialysis catheter that is implanted into the patient's upper right arm, in place of an A/V fistula.
Yes, on the arm opposite the fistula. Never on the same arm as the fistula
Have thick veins all around my fistula, and thick vein on the back of my hand, was advised by a renal doctor not to worry about them, that it was an aneurysm of the fistula, use to be on dialysis, received a kidney transplant nearly a year ago. Am getting a lot of cramps in my hand, where the fistula is located. Since you have started the Xmas holidays, very difficult to get a surgeon to have a look at it, will have to wait till the first week of new year 2012. Any suggestions for those cramps in my hand?
