Well the other day I had my third fistulagram done on my graft. They didn't find any clots, but the same spot that narrowed narrowed again, so this time they put in another type of stent but I forget what they called it but they said it should last longer. I sure hope so! Like I said this is my third repair! It has a nice strong thrill this time but they still pull clots when canulating, I asked the radiologist about why that happens and he told me what it was but sadly the drugs I was on during the procedure made me forget.
Also they tied a smaller graft into my other one, but I don't know why they did that, at least that's what they called it it's like real hard and is under my armpit and it's tied to my main graft. My nurses and techs say you can see the stent they put in is that normal?
