Dialysis Access & Maintainence
People with complex and serious conditions of the blood vessels and lymph system (vascular diseases) often find the help they need from vascular and endovascular surgeons
TREATMENT
Diseases we Treat
Interventional Procedures
- Placement of tunneled and non tunneled dialysis catheters.
- Catheter-directed thrombolysis
Fistula failure is most often a result of a progressive narrowing of the anastomosis, the connection point between the vein and the artery, due to intimal hyperplasia or repeated punctures in the vein. Vascular occlusion refers to blockage of blood vessels, usually by a clot.
Interventional Procedures
- AV fistula thrombolysis
- AV fistula angioplasty
Central vein stenosis (CVS) is a common complication of the central venous catheter (CVC) placement. The prevalence of CVS has mostly been studied in those who present with symptoms such as swelling of the extremity, neck and breast. CVS compromises arteriovenous access and can be resistant to treatment.
Interventional Procedures
- Central venous angioplasty
Varicose veins are twisted, enlarged veins. Any superficial vein may become varicosed, but the veins most commonly affected are those in your legs. That's because standing and walking upright increases the pressure in the veins of your lower body.
Interventional Procedures
- Endovascular Laser ablation therapy (EVLT)
- Foam Sclerotherapy
- Ambulatory Phlebectomy
