Fistula question

I had my fistula done about a month ago, my Dr. says it is maturing nicely, but has branched and he is going in this coming Tue to fix it.
My question is have any of you had this done and what can I expect? He is telling me that he will numb the area with a local and perhaps give me a mild sedative, and that it should only take 20-30 min…

Hi Rich, I’ve had that done more than once…its no BIGGY, minor stuff…

Thanks Gus…

Well I went in last week for a 20-30 min ligation to my fistula and it turned into a 3 hour deal.
I ended up with about 6-7 inches of my own artery and the rest is an artificial tube.
Am I going to have to worry about problems with the tube?
How long will in last in general?
What about blood clot’s etc…etc…
Thanks in advance…
