Emergency clot removal to restore your dialysis access. Our minimally invasive thrombectomy procedures can save your fistula or graft and get you back to dialysis quickly.
Thrombectomy is a minimally invasive procedure to remove blood clots from your dialysis access (fistula or graft). When clots block blood flow, your access can't be used for dialysis.
Time is critical—the sooner we treat a clotted access, the better the chances of saving it. Our team is available for emergency thrombectomy procedures.
Physical removal of clots using specialized catheters and devices.
Clot-dissolving medications (TPA) to break down blood clots.
Balloon dilation to open narrowed areas that caused the clot.
Metal mesh tubes to keep vessels open and prevent re-clotting.
Imaging study to identify the cause of access problems.
Strategies to prevent future clotting episodes.
Call us immediately when you suspect a clot.
Quick evaluation and imaging to confirm clot.
