New era in dialysis access comes to UT Health SA

Dr. Christopher Mitromaras, MD, Assistant Professor of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at UT Health San Antonio placed our first percutaneous fistulae for dialysis this week (1/14/2020) launching a new era in the comprehensive dialysis access program offered by UT Health SA. Dialysis access is a crucial element in the well-being of patients suffering from end stage renal disease and these patients need dialysis 2-3 times a week to maintain their health. Normally a patient requires open surgery to create the connection between the artery and vein in the arm. However, more recently percutaneous methods have been developed. These procedures minimizes the amount of vessel and skin trauma compared to traditional fistula creation using open surgery and offers an additional AV fistula location for patients than that is typically done surgically
