Arteriovenous (AV) fistulas – direct connections between an artery and a vein – are the standard means of vascular access for long-term renal dialysis.  The internal AV shunt is the placement of a graft between a vein and artery. The brachial artery and vein are the most commonly used vessels, but vessels in the upper arm, forearm, or leg can also be used.  The internal AV fistula results from the anastomosis of an artery to a vein in the arm. Fluid boluses and/or pharmacologic therapy are sometimes used to help achieve adequate blood flow through the shunt or fistula.  Decreased blood flow through the shunt or fistula may result in thrombosis.

hoped that helped a little.
