Services

Our medical staff works under the direction of nephrologists who are certified by the American Board of Internal Medicine with sub-specialty certification in nephrology. Their mission: deliver the highest quality care in a comfortable, patient-focused setting.

This facility was created to ensure that the same high quality care that you receive from your nephrologist and the staff at your dialysis center continues when you need access interventions. By creating a specialized, dedicated facility our goal is to provide better overall care and higher patient satisfaction.

Types of Treatment Procedures

Balloon Angioplasty treats the most common access problem, which is narrowing of the dialysis access point. Successful angioplasty widens the access opening and prevents clotting. Dye is injected into the access site and a small balloon and catheter are inserted and inflated. Expansion stretches the vessel wall and improves blood flow.

Declotting/Thrombectomy is required when an access point stops flowing because blood has clotted. Treatment is similar to angioplasty. In addition to stretching the vessel wall, the clot within the access is also removed.

Catheter placement, replacement, and exhange. Patients without a functioning access point often require catheters. Existing catheters can be maintained, and new catheters can be inserted if blood flow cannot otherwise be restored.
