Dialysis Access

Dialysis Access

Dialysis access is the insertion and maintenance of dialysis catheters, as well as declotting and angioplasty/stenting of arm fistulas and grafts used for dialysis.

This procedure may be done in our office based endovascular lab, or at the hospital. The location is at the discretion of the physician and patient based on each individual's needs.
