Our Vascular Dialysis Process

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.

Dialysis Access Planning and Maintenance

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.

Dialysis Vascular Access Surgery

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.
