Meet the Team
AVFCW – AVF Care Workshop
At AVFCW, we believe that dialysis vascular access care is not a single procedure — it is a long-term commitment. Behind every functioning AV fistula is a team that plans early, intervenes timely, and stays connected with the patient throughout their dialysis journey.
Our work combines vascular surgery, endovascular precision, dialysis expertise, nutrition science, patient education, and innovation.
Dr. Himanshu Verma
Founder – AVFCW
Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon | AV Access Specialist
Dr. Himanshu Verma is a dedicated Vascular & Endovascular Surgeon with a focused interest in arteriovenous fistula creation, complex AV access salvage, and long-term dialysis vascular care.
With nearly two decades of experience in vascular surgery, his work spans advanced arterial and venous procedures, but over the years his practice has evolved toward building structured systems for durable AV fistula outcomes.
His core clinical focus includes:
- Complex and redo AV fistula surgery
- Salvage of thrombosed AV fistulas
- Management of central venous stenosis
- Flow correction procedures
- Long-term access preservation strategies
What distinguishes his approach is not just surgical expertise, but continuity of care. Many patients under his care have functioning AV fistulas for 10–15 years with structured surveillance and timely intervention.
Philosophy of Care
At AVFCW, vascular access is not treated in isolation.
Dr. Verma believes in:
- Early CKD referral for fistula planning
- Structured maturation protocols
- Close collaboration with nephrologists and dialysis teams
- Educating patients to monitor their own lifeline
- Treating the patient as a whole — not just the fistula
The relationship with dialysis patients is long-term. Many have been under continued follow-up for over a decade, reflecting a model centered on trust, accessibility, and proactive care.
Innovation in AV Access Monitoring
Dr. Verma has been actively involved in developing structured self-AV fistula examination protocols, including stethoscope-based monitoring systems for early detection of stenosis.
Through AVFCW, he is working toward integrating:
- AI-assisted digital stethoscope monitoring
- Remote AV fistula sound analysis
- Pre-emptive angioplasty models
- Data-driven access surveillance
The goal is simple:
Detect dysfunction early — before thrombosis occurs.
Ms. Chanderkanta
Head – Programs & Strategic Partnerships
Ms. Chanderkanta oversees the structure and expansion of AVFCW programs. She coordinates workshops, institutional collaborations, and outreach initiatives that help bring structured AV fistula education to dialysis communities.
Her leadership ensures that every workshop is organized, patient-centric, and impactful.
Dr. Trisha Sachan
Renal Nutritionist & Clinical Research Associate
Dr. Trisha Sachan integrates renal nutrition and preventive care into AVFCW’s model. She guides dialysis patients on:
- Diet optimization
- Nutritional strategies for wound healing
- Long-term lifestyle modification
- Preventive renal health education
Her work strengthens the holistic care philosophy of AVFCW.
Mr. Sanoj Yadav
Vascular Access Nurse
With extensive dialysis floor experience, Mr. Yadav supports:
- AV fistula cannulation best practices
- Early identification of access dysfunction
- Patient training in daily AVF self-monitoring
- Dialysis troubleshooting
He bridges surgical planning with day-to-day dialysis care.
Dr. Amresh
Vascular Access Physician – Varanasi
Dr. Amresh supports AV fistula follow-up and surveillance in the region, ensuring continuity of care, timely referral for intervention, and structured monitoring of dialysis access.
Mr. Damandeep Singh Nayyar
Branding & Concept Design Lead
Mr. Nayyar leads communication design and patient education presentation across AVFCW platforms, ensuring that complex vascular access concepts are delivered in a clear and understandable manner.
Our Shared Mission
To create a structured ecosystem where:
- AV fistulas are planned early
- Dysfunction is detected before thrombosis
- Patients are trained to monitor their own access
- Long-term fistula survival becomes the norm
Because for a dialysis patient,
