When the tecks pull my arterial needle I bleed very bad, the tecks work very hard at stoping the bleeding which last sometime up to 1 hour, no heprin and my blood checks at 1.1 INR. They are sending me for a fistulagram tomorrow.  Has anybody had this problem?

Dr found a blockage and used a balloon to open it.

Yes, you may end up with more of those.  At least you should be on track now.

Hope you do well.

Glad you got it taken care of so quickly. Did it hurt?
