AV Fistula and Vascular Access Procedures
Plastic surgeons are sometimes involved in creating AV fistulae for dialysis access. Dr. Mohan Rangaswamy has a long-standing association with kidney transplantation and related vascular access procedures. He has performed over 650 such cases to date.
These procedures include creating new AV fistulae and AV grafts, revising existing fistulae, and establishing vascular access for patients with limited access options. Microvascular techniques are routinely used during these procedures.
The range of vascular access procedures also includes the insertion of Port-a-caths and Hickman-Broviac catheters for oncology patients requiring cancer treatment.
