Three fistula placements in left arm this sinceMarch of tlast yr 9 fistulagrams since may of last yr april of this yr a new fistula placed in right arm wrist area, informed thursday it is full of scar tissue new fistula set to be put in on the 15th of august, so tired of these procedures and for some reason this one scares me a little I guess because of my stent placements in the heart cant be off my plavix at all so having it done while on it. just a lot on my mind

This sounds positively dreadful. Is there some reason your surgeon is having so much trouble creating a working fistula? What has caused of the scar tissue in the newest fistula? What will they do differently on 15 August to avoid the previous difficulties?

Like you I got fistulagram after fistulagram, so I got me a new vascular surgeon who really works with me, so yes maybe it's time for a new surgeon if this one doesn't work out.
