Safe, image-guided drainage of excess abdominal fluid (ascites). Provides rapid relief from bloating, discomfort, and breathing difficulties.
Paracentesis is a procedure to remove excess fluid (ascites) from the abdomen. Using ultrasound guidance, we insert a thin needle to safely drain the fluid, providing immediate relief.
Ascites is often caused by liver disease, heart failure, or cancer. Regular paracentesis can significantly improve quality of life for patients with recurring fluid buildup.
Large-volume fluid removal for symptom relief.
Fluid sampling for lab analysis.
Convenient in-home procedures.
Real-time imaging for safety.
Scheduled recurring drainage.
IV albumin when needed for large-volume taps.
