For dialysis patients, a functioning dialysis access is necessary to provide a high rate of blood flow through a filter for efficient cleansing of waste materials. A poorly functioning dialysis access can result in incomplete dialysis treatments and declining health. It is also a leading cause of hospitalization among dialysis patients.

The new UHealth Vascular Access Center offers an alternative setting for vascular access procedures. The team of Interventional Physicians and specialized staff, under the leadership of Loay Salman MD., and Arif Asif MD., is dedicated to the care and treatment of patient vascular access needs. The center, located in Palmetto Bay, provides focused, expert care in a timely manner to the dialysis community.

Services Provided Include:

  • Angiography & Angioplasty
  • De-clotting
  • All tunnel catheter procedures (placement, exchange and removal)
  • Vessel mapping

The UHealth Vascular Access Center is located at 8770 SW 144 Street, Palmetto Bay, FL. For more information, or to schedule an appointment call (305) 689-1255 or visit www.uhealthsystem.com.
