Dr Galappaththy has extensive experience in renal dialysis access and vascular access surgery. He provides AV fistula creation, permanent dialysis catheter (Permcath) insertion, and port‑a‑cath insertion for chemotherapy and cancer patients, delivering safe, reliable long‑term vascular access tailored to each patient’s needs.

An arteriovenous (AV) fistula is a long‑lasting access created for dialysis by surgically joining one of your own arteries to a nearby vein, usually in the arm. This increases blood flow, allowing the vein to become stronger and suitable for dialysis needles. AV fistulas are considered the best option for long‑term dialysis access because they last longer, work more reliably, and have a lower risk of infection compared to other access types.
