Restoring AV Access with Minimally Invasive Precision
Catheter Directed Thrombolysis is a minimally invasive procedure that involves delivering clot-dissolving medication directly into a thrombosed AV fistula or graft. This technique rapidly restores blood flow, salvages dialysis access, and avoids the need for open surgery in many cases.

Procedure Overview
Access Site Cannulation
A catheter is inserted through a vein and guided into the thrombus under imaging control.
Thrombolytic Infusion
A clot-dissolving drug is delivered directly into the clot for targeted breakdown over a few hours.
Flow Restoration
Imaging is repeated to confirm clot resolution and the return of flow through the AV access.
Adjunct Angioplasty
Balloon angioplasty may be performed for residual stenosis to ensure long-term access patency.
