AV Fistula Ultrasound Basics | Anatomy, Types & How AVFs Work

Learn how an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) works and review the basic anatomy every vascular ultrasound student should know. In this video, I break down the connection between an artery and vein, explain common AV fistula types like the radiocephalic and brachiocephalic fistula, and discuss the anatomy involved in dialysis access. This is a great review for ultrasound students, vascular sonographers, RVTs, and anyone learning hemodialysis access ultrasound. Topics covered include AV fistula anatomy, radial artery, cephalic vein, brachial artery, anastomosis, fistula types, dialysis access, and vascular ultrasound basics. #AVF #AVFistula #VascularUltrasound #Ultrasound #Sonography #Sonographer #RVT #DialysisAccess #UltrasoundStudent #MedicalEducation
