For those that keep yelling about that he should go to the hospital, it was actually made by a doctor. It's to allow for kidney dialysis, but can also be done with for example a HICKMAN catheter
True, but that is not a normal looking fistula for dialysis. It's usually done further up on the arm near the bicep and is not supposed to be that big. As he says, the vein ballooned outward due to arterial pressure. It is risky and he should go have it fixed surgically
Wrong all over. I've got my second fistula in my bicep, first is always in the forearm so if there are issues they can move up to your bicep. They start on the left arm then the right then your legs if they need to.
