Dialysis Access Management

All of the above are minimally invasive treatments designed to fix the problem if your dialysis access is not working properly.

If an AV fistula or AV graft experiences clotting or narrowing, it results in reduced blood flow through the access, potentially hindering a scheduled dialysis treatment. In cases of access dysfunction, your physician may recommend an interventional procedure to enhance blood flow through the access.

Advantages of minimally invasive interventions for an impaired access:

Correcting blood flow issues through minimally invasive procedures for a dysfunctional access comes with various benefits.

• Usually requires only local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia.
• Allows for a swift return to daily activities.
• Enables the resumption or continuation of scheduled dialysis treatments without interruption.
