A functioning vascular access is crucial to the wellbeing of patients on hemodialysis. Thrombosis is the most common complication of arteriovenous fistula (AVF) resulting in late fistula failure; Its treatment is difficult, and results are often suboptimal. Interventional treatment of AVF thrombosis may not be available all the time, and timely application of an available noninterventional treatment may salvage the fistula. We report the successful treatment of AVF thrombosis using local thrombolytic therapy using tissue plasminogen activator in a patient, for the first time in India.
