Dialysis Clot Removal and Vessel Repair

Under fluoroscopic guidance (live X–rays that can be viewed on a monitor), the provider introduces a catheter into a vessel in the dialysis circuit and extracts a blood clot (hematoma) with special instruments (thrombectomy) and/or injects a drug to dissolve the clot (pharmacological thrombolytic injection); the provider also finds a narrowed segment in the outer area of the circuit, which the provider dilates and opens up using a balloon expanded within the vessel lumen (channel). The procedure includes diagnostic angiography and radiological supervision and interpretation. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
