Dallas Renal Group offers a comprehensive range of outpatient procedures designed to help dialysis patients get the access they need—safely, efficiently, and with minimal disruption. We work closely with your nephrologist to provide personalized access care that aligns with your overall treatment plan.Early detection and timely intervention of access dysfunction is critical. Dysfunction can occur as stenosis (narrowing), thrombosis (clotting), or an aneurysm (bulge in the access).
An arteriovenous (AV) fistula creates a connection between an artery and a vein, usually in the arm, for long-term dialysis access. Fistulas offer excellent blood flow and the lowest risk of complications. We perform this outpatient procedure with local anesthesia and mild sedation for your comfort.
If a fistula is not an option, an AV graft may be used to link an artery and vein with a soft synthetic tube. This provides a reliable access solution, particularly for patients with smaller or weakened veins. Our team selects the best approach based on your individual vascular condition.
For urgent dialysis or short-term access, we place tunneled dialysis catheters in the chest or neck. The procedure is done using ultrasound guidance and local anesthesia for safety and comfort. We also handle catheter replacement, removal, and repositioning as needed.
For patients opting for peritoneal dialysis, a soft tube is placed in the abdomen to enable treatment at home. Our team ensures proper placement and guides you with post-procedure care so you can begin PD safely and confidently.
A fistulogram uses contrast imaging to check how well blood is flowing through your AV access. If any narrowing or blockages are found, treatments like angioplasty can often be done on the same day to restore proper flow.
We use angioplasty to open narrowed blood vessels and thrombectomy to remove clots in fistulas or grafts. These image-guided procedures are quick, effective, and usually performed without general anesthesia.
