Dialysis Access
Dialysis Access
Services We Provide:
Fistula Creation and Maintenance:
- We create and maintain percutaneous (AV) fistulas, (WaveLinq) the gold standard for long-term dialysis access, and provide ongoing care to ensure proper function.
Catheter Placement/exchange & removal.:
- Catheter placement and removal are essential procedures provided at Duval Vascular
& Fibroid Center, designed to support patients requiring long-term intravenous access
or specific vascular treatments. Catheter placement involves the precise insertion of a
thin, flexible tube into a vein, allowing for the administration of medications, fluids, or
nutrition, as well as for blood draws and other medical needs. Our skilled team ensures
the procedure is performed with minimal discomfort, using advanced imaging
guidance to achieve accuracy and safety. When a catheter is no longer needed, our
specialists also perform safe and efficient catheter removal, prioritizing patient
comfort and reducing the risk of complications. Whether for temporary use or ongoing
care, our catheter services are tailored to meet each patient’s individual health needs
with the highest standards of care.
Access Evaluation and Management:
- Utilizing advanced imaging and diagnostic tools, we monitor and address any issues such as blockages or narrowing, ensuring optimal access function.
We also implant ports for long term medication needs for cancer patients.
