Dialysis Access
Dialysis access is an entranceway into your bloodstream that lies completely beneath your skin and is easy to use. The access is usually in your arm, but sometimes in the leg, and allows blood to be removed and returned quickly, efficiently, and safely during dialysis or, less commonly, for other procedures requiring frequent access to your circulation. Creating the access portal requires a minor surgical procedure in which your vascular surgeon will place either a fistula or a graft under the skin. Typically this is an outpatient procedure.
