A vascular specialist in Hackensack will provide you with vascular access for dialysis treatment.
Our surgeons manage other common vascular surgical problems that are common in the hemodialysis population. These include blockages in the blood vessels to the brain or carotid disease. Early detection and treatment of carotid disease can prevent stroke. We also treat blockages in the blood vessels to the leg or peripheral arterial disease. Treatment of this process can heal leg wounds and prevent amputation. If you are a new dialysis patient and renal artery stenosis, or narrowing of the blood supply to the kidney, is suspected, correction can lead to improvements in blood pressure and renal function.
Due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease and the contribution that it makes to dialysis-related deaths, you will want to see a leading vascular surgeon in Bergen County to prepare you for dialysis and to evaluate and monitor your vascular health in advance of your dialysis treatment.
