Surgical Connection Of An Artery And Vein For Dialysis

Maine rates for HCPCS 36821

In an open operation, an artery and a vein lying next to it are sewn directly to one another so that arterial blood flows into the vein. Over the following weeks the vein thickens and widens into a durable access point that can be needled again and again for dialysis. No artificial graft material is used, and the join can be made at any suitable site on the body.
