Fast Appointments for Dialysis Access Issues
May 31st, 2018 by admin
Our bodies are far from perfect. Oftentimes you can do everything right and still have issues that require medical intervention. The same is true for your vascular access. Issues with your dialysis access point can happen at any time and since this is literally the access to your lifeline when you’re on dialysis, it is critically important that whatever issue you are having is identified and rectified quickly and by experienced professionals.
Thankfully at our Vascular Access Center we have incredibly skilled surgeons and an outstanding staff that can quickly assess and fix any dialysis access issues that you may have. Since it is always our goal to get you back to your treatment with as little as disruption as possible, we offer same day or next business day appointments with our team. We know exactly how important your lifeline is!
If you’re curious how we will get your access back up and running for your next hemodialysis appointment, one of the first things we will do is of course determine the cause of your issue. We use x-ray or ultrasound to determine what is making your access malfunction and then proceed with treatment options. Depending on your issue our team may choose from options such as angioplasty, stent placement or declotting procedures. Learn even more about what we do or if you call and make an appointment.
