What is the CPT code for arteriovenous fistula using Gore-Tex graft for hemodialysis?
The CPT code for the creation of an arteriovenous fistula using a Gore-Tex graft for hemodialysis is 36821. This code specifically describes the procedure of establishing a vascular access for dialysis using a synthetic graft. It's important to ensure the correct documentation and coding guidelines are followed when billing for this procedure.

Why shouldn't you take a blood pressure on an arm with a shunt?
An artificial shunt for hemodialysis, either a fistula (direct artery to vein connection) or a graft (artery to vein connection through Goretex tubing), can be on the arm, or preferably on the forearm for a fistula. A fistula, and even less so a Goretex, will not burst because of applying pressure through a sphygmomanometer (which was the original answer posted here). There is a slight risk of causing a thrombosis of the venous side of the fistula, particularly if there is already a venous stenosis.

What complications may ensue from tympanoplasty?
failure of the graft to heal, causing recurrent eardrum perforation; narrowing (stenosis) of the ear canal; scarring or adhesions in the middle ear; perilymph fistula and hearing loss
Why no Needle sticks on the AV graft arm?
I think just because its a pain to get a good AV fistula and you don't want to do anything to compromise it. They also aren't allowed to sleep on that arm, lift things with that arm, etc.

What is accomplished by a bypass graft?
In a bypass graft, a vein graft from another part of the body or a graft made from artificial material is used to create a detour around a blocked artery.
What are fistulagrams?
Fistulagrams are studies performed to monitor the function of a fistula or graft, providing a proactive approach to dialysis access care and maintenance. Clinical indicators such as high venous pressures, prolonged bleeding and difficulty with cannulation can determine the need for the frequency of Fistulagrams.Visit http://www.vascularaccesscenters.com for more information.
