The Specialists of Michigan Vascular Center are dedicated to improving the quality of life for hemodialysis patients. Hemodialysis access for these individuals is an increasingly challenging field, and requires meticulous surgical and endovascular techniques in many cases.
MVC surgeons have been serving the dialysis population of mid-Michigan for over forty years. They follow the "fistula first" initiative, which seeks to use natural vein fistulas as much as possible. They are also actively involved in several clinical trials in the field of hemodialysis access.
Since September 2005, MVC has consolidated the diagnostic, decision- making and endovascular management of hemodialysis patients into the Michigan Vascular Access Center. This office is a "one-stop-shop" for AV fistula management, often saving the patient trips to multiple locations. A second office, CMVC, bringing the same capabilities to patients in Oakland County opened in the Spring of 2009.
