Renal Artery Disease

For patients that require ongoing kidney dialysis, the Marous Center offers a dedicated clinic and a staff of experienced surgeons, who are practiced at creating
natural fistulas (dialysis access points) and dialysis grafts, as well as implanting dialysis catheters to access the bloodstream. When needed, these same surgeons
use a wide variety of technologies to view and reopen blocked fistulas. Many blockages can be cleared using specially designed equipment or clot-busting
medications – often eliminating the need for additional surgery.
