Angioplasty is a medical procedure using a catheter to treat peripheral arterial disease. Once the end of the catheter reaches the narrowed portion of an artery, a balloon can be inflated for a short period of time to help open the blockage.

Stenting is the insertion of a mesh into an artery that has a significant amount of plaque built up. This minimally invasive procedure helps re-open the artery and prevent it from narrowing in the future.

Atherectomy is a surgical procedure in which a catheter is used to help remove the buildup of plaque within the walls of the arteries.

Angiograms are minimally invasive diagnostic procedures using a contrast dye that is injected into the blood stream to help evaluate the blood vessel flow.

Fistulagrams are minimally invasive diagnostic procedures using a contrast dye to evaluate dialysis access and help improve the function of the dialysis access.

Venograms are minimally invasive diagnostic procedures to evaluate veins in order to determine if there is any compression that could lead to symptoms of swelling or ulcerations.

Central Venous Catheter placement (CVC), also known as tunneled dialysis catheter, is a type of access used for hemodialysis. This is performed for patients in need of dialysis that do not currently have a functioning fistula or graft.
