Dialysis access is often described as a patient’s lifeline, providing the essential route through which haemodialysis is performed 🩺 It may take the form of an arteriovenous fistula, graft, or central venous catheter depending on clinical requirements 🩻 Imaging plays a key role in assessing access function, identifying narrowing, blockage, or reduced flow within fistulas and grafts. It also guides interventional radiology procedures where minimally invasive treatment may be used to restore or improve access, as well as assist in the precise placement of central venous catheters. This supports reliable dialysis delivery, long-term treatment stability and patient safety. To learn more about interventional radiology, please visit 👉🏾 mic.co.zw/interventional-radiology
