Has anyone ever heard of having a heart attack during or right after surgery for an AV Fistula? Seems it just happened to me.

I havent heard of it. I am very sorry to hear this. I hope you are feeling ok now. I didnt have any issues with my fistula getting fitted. However suddenly 5 months later, I am getting odd sensations and difficulty getting the needles in. As with everything in our kidney journeys its one step forward and two back. Wishing you all the best.
