Central Venous Access Procedure

At PomVascular, we offer this procedure so we can insert of a flexible and sterile thin plastic tube, or catheter, into a blood vessel to provide an effective method of drawing blood or delivering medications, blood products, or nutrition into a patient’s bloodstream over a period of weeks, months or even years.

A vascular access procedure inserts a flexible, sterile plastic tube called a catheter into a blood vessel to allow blood to be drawn from or medication to be delivered to a patient’s bloodstream over an extended period. They may be used for intravenous (IV) antibiotic treatment, chemotherapy, long-term IV feeding and blood transfusions. Vascular access spares patients the stress of repeated needle sticks and provides a painless way to draw blood or deliver medication.

Biopsies

Our needle biopsies are performed on an outpatient basis with minimal preparation

At PomVascular, we offer Biopsies when a nodule is detected, imaging tests may be performed to help determine if it is benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). If imaging studies cannot clearly define the abnormality, a biopsy may be necessary.

A biopsy is the removal of tissue from any part of the body to examine it for disease. Some may remove a small tissue sample with a needle while others may surgically remove a suspicious nodule or lump.
IVUS is most often used to visualize the coronary arteries in conjunction with or to help plan for catheter angiography or angioplasty and vascular stenting.

Biopsies have a number of advantages over traditional surgery:

Vertebroplasty/Kyphoplasty

Treat painful vertebral compression fractures in the spine.

At PomVascular, we offer people Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are minimally invasive procedures for the treatment of painful vertebral compression fractures (VCF), which are fractures involving the vertebral bodies that make up the spinal column.

Vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty are procedures used to treat painful vertebral compression fractures in the spinal column, which are a common result of osteoporosis. Your doctor may use imaging guidance to inject a cement mixture into the fractured bone (vertebroplasty) or insert a balloon into the fractured bone to create a space and then fill it with cement (kyphoplasty). Following vertebroplasty, about 75 percent of patients regain lost mobility and become more active.

Vertebroplasty & Kyphoplasty has a number of advantages over traditional surgery:

• Minimally invasive
• Uses local anesthesia only
• Takes place in our office
• Involves minimal downtime of approximately one day.

Nephrostomy, Nephrourteral and Ureteral Stents

Restoring the flow of urine to the bladder.

At PomVascular, we offer Ureteral Stenting and Nephrostomy for treatment when ureter can become obstructed due to conditions such as kidney stones, tumors, infection, or blood clots.

Ureteral stenting and nephrostomy help restore urine flow through blocked ureters and return the kidney to normal function. Ureters are long, narrow tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder. They can become obstructed – and urine flow blocked – as a result of various conditions. Your doctor may use image guidance to place a thin, flexible tube called a stent into the ureter to restore urine flow. If a stent cannot be placed, he may perform a nephrostomy, during which a tube is placed through the skin into the kidney and connected to either an external drainage bag or the bladder.

Ureteral Stenting and Nephrostomy have a number of advantages over traditional surgery:

• Minimally invasive
• Uses local anesthesia only
• Takes place in our office
• Involves minimal downtime of approximately one day.
