Vascular Dialysis Access
Vascular dialysis access is essential for patients requiring long-term hemodialysis, ensuring reliable and efficient treatment. At Mile High Vascular, we specialize in creating and maintaining dialysis access points, providing personalized care to meet each patient’s unique needs.
There are three primary types of vascular access for hemodialysis: arteriovenous (AV) fistulas, AV grafts, and central venous catheters. An AV fistula, often considered the best option, involves connecting an artery and a vein to create a high-flow vessel. AV grafts are used when fistulas are not viable, utilizing a synthetic tube to join an artery and vein. Central venous catheters are typically temporary solutions used while permanent access sites mature.
The creation of a vascular access point involves a minor surgical procedure performed by our experienced specialists. Post-procedure, we provide comprehensive follow-up care to monitor the access site, prevent complications, and address any issues promptly.
Maintaining vascular dialysis access is crucial for effective hemodialysis. Our team offers regular monitoring and maintenance services to ensure the longevity and functionality of the access point. This includes managing any potential complications such as infections, blockages, or clotting.
For patients considering an alternative to hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis access is another viable option. This method involves placing a catheter in the abdomen to allow for the dialysis solution to filter waste through the peritoneal membrane. Our clinic provides expert care in the insertion and maintenance of peritoneal dialysis catheters, ensuring patients have a safe and effective dialysis experience at home. This option offers greater flexibility and can be more convenient for many patients, allowing for better management of their dialysis schedule.
Mile High Vascular is committed to providing top-notch care for patients requiring both hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis access, ensuring they receive the best possible treatment.
