Title: finally maybe some progress!
Post by: sullidog on December 28, 2010, 05:03:57 PM

Hey all,
Well I think we are finally getting some where with this graft issue! I went to see my new vascular surgeon who looked at my graft, he said there might either be some blockage or plack buildup on the walls of the graft (the techs can see the calc deposits when they stick me) so unlike my prev surgeon who went directly to the fistula grams this one is going to do the duplex ultrasound first then go from there. I sure hope I can finally get some answers! In the mean time they are gvery limited where they can canulate to get me to run because the thrill is not consistant and they don't wanna put in a chest cath until this all gets resolved even though I personally want one because they have to run it at a low pressure.

Having probs with a graft or a fistula is not good.  I sure hope yours gets fixed and soon!
