For patients with kidney failure who need dialysis, dialysis access is a lifeline. It’s the way your blood travels to and from the dialysis machine so it can be filtered and cleaned.

There are a few main types of access:
🩸 Fistula – Created by connecting an artery and vein, this is the gold standard for long-term dialysis.
🩸 Graft – A soft tube that connects an artery and a vein when veins aren't suitable for a fistula.
🩸 Renal catheter – A narrow tube placed in a large vein in the neck.

Maintaining healthy dialysis access is crucial. It ensures your treatments are safe and effective. Interventional radiologists play a key role in creating, maintaining, and restoring access when problems arise. Learn more at https://www.lakelandvascular.com/services/dialysis-access-maintenance/

Lakeland Vascular is proud to spotlight Dr. Elmasri, one of the directors of the CLOTS Conference, a premier two-day educational event focused on advancing care for patients with thromboembolic disease.

The CLOTS: Head To Toe conference brings together leading experts, multidisciplinary teams, and dedicated healthcare professionals for an in-depth experience designed to elevate clinical expertise and improve patient outcomes. Through collaboration, evidence-based discussions, and shared best practices, attendees gain meaningful insights they can apply directly in their clinical settings.

We’re excited to have Dr. Elmasri helping lead this important event and shaping conversations that move thromboembolic care forward.

We are honored to have enrolled our first patient into this important registry on October 13, 2025 — a milestone made possible through the collaboration and expertise of our dedicated team.

The XTRACT Registry is a prospective, multi-center, post-market study evaluating the clinical performance of the Rotarex™ Atherectomy System in treating patients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). This minimally invasive system is designed to effectively remove plaque and thrombus from peripheral arteries, offering a dual indication as both an atherectomy and thrombectomy device.

Through this national registry, BD Peripheral and leading physicians aim to gather valuable real-world data to help refine treatment strategies and improve outcomes for patients with PAD.

We're proud to contribute to advancing vascular care and to be part of research that supports innovation and improved patient outcomes.

In addition to surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, some cancers can also be treated with image-guided, minimally invasive procedures performed by interventional radiologists. These approaches may be used on their own or alongside other cancer treatments, depending on the type and stage of disease.

Here are several commonly used techniques:
- Embolization: blocks blood flow to a tumor, limiting its supply of oxygen and nutrients.
- Radioembolization (Y-90): delivers tiny radioactive beads into the blood vessels feeding the tumor, combining embolization with targeted internal radiation.
- Chemoembolization (TACE): delivers chemotherapy directly into the tumor’s blood supply, while also blocking that vessel to keep the medication concentrated in the area.
- Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): uses heat energy to destroy cancer cells.
- Cryoablation: uses extreme cold to freeze and destroy tumor tissue.

These treatments are not appropriate for every patient or every type of cancer. They are usually considered when surgery is not possible, or in combination with other therapies.

Decisions about cancer care are complex and should always be made in consultation with a multidisciplinary medical team. At LVI, we offer these treatments for liver tumors. Learn more at https://www.lakelandvascular.com/services/cancer-treatment/

Because PAE is an outpatient procedure, no anesthesia is required, only a mild numbing where the catheter will be inserted.

The interventional radiologist uses imaging guidance to insert a tiny catheter into an artery in the patient’s upper thigh or wrist, and then guides it through the body’s blood vessels to the arteries supplying blood to the prostate. Tiny beads called ‘microspheres’ are released through the catheter and into the arteries, blocking blood flow to the prostate.

Reduced blood flow = shrinking prostate and symptom relief!

Did you know one of the largest veins in your body is called the Inferior Vena Cava (IVC)?
It’s like a highway for blood, carrying it from your lower body back to your heart.

For some patients at risk of dangerous blood clots (deep vein thrombosis, or DVT), doctors may place an IVC filter inside this vein. The filter acts like a tiny safety net, catching clots before they can travel to the lungs and cause a pulmonary embolism.

Key points:
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Often used for patients who cannot take blood thinners
- Can be temporary or permanent, depending on your needs

The IVC may not get much attention, but it plays a vital role in protecting your health.

Everyday tasks can feel impossible with spine pain. That’s where Vertebroplasty and Kyphoplasty come in.

These are minimally invasive procedures performed by interventional radiologists to stabilize fractured vertebrae and relieve pain.

Vertebroplasty: Medical-grade cement is carefully injected into the fractured bone to strengthen and stabilize it.
Kyphoplasty: A small balloon is used to create space before cement is placed, which can also help restore some lost height of the vertebra.

- Minimally invasive
- Outpatient procedure
- Rapid pain relief for many patients
- Quick return to normal activities

These treatments can make a life-changing difference for those with painful spinal fractures due to osteoporosis or injury. Learn more at https://www.lakelandvascular.com/services/spine-pain-fractures/

Both are minimally invasive imaging tests that let doctors see your blood vessels:
- Angiogram: Looks at blood flow in veins and arteries anywhere in the body.
- Arteriogram: Focuses specifically on arteries, the vessels that carry blood away from the heart.

How it works: A tiny catheter is guided to the vessels, contrast dye is injected, and X-rays create detailed images.

✅ Helps detect blockages, aneurysms, or other vessel problems
✅ Usually outpatient
✅ Quick recovery

Understanding your blood vessels can help prevent serious heart or vascular problems. Ask your doctor if one of these tests is right for you!

PNS is a breakthrough, minimally invasive treatment that uses a tiny device to target the nerves causing your pain—at the source.

Whether it’s back pain, shoulder pain, post-surgical pain, or nerve damage, PNS can help reduce discomfort and improve your quality of life—without opioids, without major surgery.

Here’s why patients are choosing PNS:
✔️ Minimally invasive
✔️ Reversible and adjustable
✔️ Little to no downtime
✔️ Targeted pain relief, not a band-aid

If you've tried medications, injections, or even surgery without lasting relief, this could be the solution you've been waiting for.

About LVI

The Lakeland Vascular Institute (LVI) was founded nearly a decade ago to meet the growing needs of patients and their doctors in our community. Our facilities utilize the latest technology to diagnose and treat disease, chronic pain and other conditions with greater accuracy, less invasively and—in many cases—less expensively than available before.

LVI is a subsidiary of Radiology and Imaging Specialists, a local community-based radiology group in Lakeland. By working together, we provide a multi-disciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of our patients. From peripheral vascular disease, cancer, and patients on dialysis, to the treatment of compression fractures and uterine fibroids, the Institute is designed to make the process of diagnosis and treatment an easier process for our patients to receive the medical attention they need.

Our accredited facilities are staffed with experienced and dedicated radiologists. These doctors are available 24-hours a day to provide interventional radiology services, give quick and precise film interpretations and also to answer any questions from our patients or referring physicians.
