M25. 18 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM M25.
The most important complications of fistulae for HD are lymphedema, infection, aneurysm, stenosis, congestive heart failure, steal syndrome, ischemic neuropathy and thrombosis. In HD patients, the most common cause of vascular access failure is neointimal hyperplasia.
As a hemodialysis patient, your access is one of the following: A fistula, an access made by joining an artery and vein in your arm. A graft, an access made by using a piece of soft tube to join an artery and vein in your arm.
An AV fistula is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein, and is sometimes surgically created to help with haemodialysis treatment. In these cases, a shunt graft is inserted to aid the treatment. Unfortunately, sometimes the shunt will fail, known as graft malfunction.
An AV graft requires the patient to take good care of the access point, as it might be prone to complications otherwise. The third option is the arteriovenous fistula, deemed the best option by most doctors. Rather than using a plastic tube, a fistula is created by connecting an artery directly to a vein.

Heart failure. This is the most serious complication of large arteriovenous fistulas. Blood flows more quickly through an arteriovenous fistula than it does through typical blood vessels. The increased blood flow makes the heart pump harder. Over time, the strain on the heart can lead to heart failure.
Finally, as a heroic measure, central venous catheters can be inserted into the inferior vena cava via translumbar or transhepatic routes [6]. Arteriovenous fistulas — An AV fistula is a deliberate connection between a native artery and vein and is typically constructed with an end-to-side, vein-to-artery anastomosis.
With an arteriovenous fistula, blood flows directly from an artery into a vein, bypassing some capillaries. When this happens, tissues below the bypassed capillaries receive less blood supply. Arteriovenous fistulas usually occur in the legs, but can develop anywhere in the body.
The most important complications of fistulae for HD are lymphedema, infection, aneurysm, stenosis, congestive heart failure, steal syndrome, ischemic neuropathy and thrombosis. In HD patients, the most common cause of vascular access failure is neointimal hyperplasia.
An AV fistula is a surgically placed "shunt"; that is, an artery is directly sutured to a vein. An artery is a high-pressure vessel that carries blood away from the heart and delivers nutrients and oxygen to the tissues.
There is a risk of damage to the fistula or graft. If the fistula or graft stops working, placement of a new access may be necessary, including possible placement of a dialysis catheter.

The increased blood flow makes the heart pump harder. Over time, the strain on the heart can lead to heart failure.
The most common problems you may experience with your dialysis access are infection, clotting that leads to low blood flow and bleeding. These complications can happen with AV fistulas, AV grafts and central venous catheters (CVCs).

Abstract. Ischemic steal syndrome (ISS) is a complication that can occur after the construction of a vascular access for hemodialysis. It is characterized by ischemia of the hand caused by marked reduction or reversal of flow through the arterial segment distal to the arteriovenous fistula (AVF).
