At the Vascular Institute of Chattanooga (VIC), we understand that establishing effective dialysis access is critical for patients with kidney failure. Our expertise includes creating advanced arteriovenous (AV) fistulas, the most reliable and preferred method for long-term dialysis access.
Types of Fistula Creations at VIC:
- Traditional AV Fistula Creation: This procedure connects an artery to a vein, allowing the vein to enlarge and strengthen over time. The result is a durable access point that supports high blood flow during dialysis sessions. Traditional AV fistulas are celebrated for their longevity and low complication rates.
- Endovascular AV Fistula Creation (WavelinQ): WavelinQ is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive technique that avoids open surgery. Using advanced technology, a fistula is created through small punctures in the skin, resulting in faster recovery times and reduced risks. This innovative option is ideal for patients seeking less invasive alternatives.
- Customized Solutions for Complex Cases: For patients with challenging vascular anatomy, VIC offers tailored approaches, including comprehensive vein mapping and advanced imaging to identify the best access options.
Our team of specialists is committed to providing personalized care, ensuring that each patient receives the most suitable and effective dialysis access for their treatment plan. Trust VIC to deliver expertise and innovation for your dialysis needs.
