As the first complex vascular access service in the country we cater for all type of vascular accesses and especially for patients who had been unsuitable for any kind of access.
We treat patients with central venous stenosis and obstruction and also provide an emergency failing access 24 hours a day seven days a week. We have a very high success rate when rescuing thrombosed or failing accesses and are the only centre in the country with such a proactive policy advocating access rescue.
We have an international reputation and give lectures worldwide as well as receiving visitors from various countries.
In our network we have three vascular access coordinators who look after our patients and their accesses. They measure the access inflow for each patient every other month with a machine using the ultrasound dilution technique (transonic).
All results and pictures of problematic accesses are sent to the surgeon's handheld computer to avoid any delays in potential treatment for these fragile patients.
Since we started using means of telemedicine to treat our patients our waiting time for clinic appointments has dropped from four weeks to zero.
