Thrombectomy for AV Fistula Graft: Saving Dialysis Access
When an AV graft clots, thrombectomy removes the clot to restore flow.
What It Costs
• Surgeon fee benchmark: SGD 2,200 – 3,600
• Anaesthetist fee benchmark: Not available
What’s Typically Covered
• Vascular access salvage procedures
• Inpatient/day surgery depending on urgency and complexity
Insurance Tip
Label it clearly as urgent dialysis access salvage, not “elective vascular procedure.”
Conclusion
Access thrombectomy can avoid catheter dependence. Coverage should support rapid intervention.
