If dialysis is anticipated, VASC providers work collaboratively with your kidney doctor to establish the best dialysis access promptly to prevent delays in the treatment process.
The initial phase of dialysis care involves comprehensive screening with the use of advanced ultrasound imaging for vein mapping, followed by the creation of dialysis access and ongoing maintenance of the access site. Our protocol emphasizes the early creation of an arteriovenous fistula, as these require several weeks to mature prior to supporting dialysis treatments.
After creation of the dialysis access (fistula/graft) may need maintenance to ensure effective dialysis. Your provider may perform a fistulogram to detect vessel narrowing or issues that could require angioplasty or stenting for improved blood flow.
Our team provides comprehensive treatment and management for conditions affecting the dialysis access. Additional services may include dialysis access angiogram (fistulogram), thrombectomy procedures for clot removal in dialysis access, as well as catheter placement and subsequent removal.
