Regular imaging surveillance
Periodic ultrasound, CT angiography, or MRI to monitor the size, flow dynamics, and progression of the arteriovenous fistula. Helps determine if intervention is needed and guides timing of treatment.
Surgical resection or repair
Open surgical approach to excise the fistula and restore normal vascular anatomy. Reserved for complex cases or when endovascular approaches are not feasible. May require vascular reconstruction.
Additional treatment options
Endovascular embolization
Minimally invasive catheter-based technique to deliver embolic agents or devices to occlude the fistula. Less invasive than open surgery with shorter recovery time.
procedureBlood pressure management
Pharmacologic control of hypertension that commonly accompanies arteriovenous fistulas due to altered hemodynamics. ACE inhibitors or ARBs are often preferred.
medicationActivity modification
Avoidance of strenuous activities that may increase abdominal pressure or blood flow through the affected vessels. Helps prevent fistula enlargement and complications.
