On saturday my Fistula died from clooting. There is no longer any beating. This is my second fistula.

I am tired of having this operation and have heard about the LifeSite system. So far it's 50/50 on the decision from researching people and places that use it. My nephralagist says to get the Fistula again.

Please I need advice I have to have this done by tommorrow.

Thanx

I like the lifesite, especially if you've been having problems with your fistula.But I would use it as a complete last resort.
Do you know why your fistulas keep failing? Did you properly exercise them by squeezing a ball? Are you diabetic? Do you have problems with low blood pressures? Do you take blood thinners? These questions are important while deciding about your access.
A good fistula can last for several years if taken care of and allowed enough time to mature before using.
I wish you luck in your final decision, but I really think the way to go is the natural way. Keep me posted.
