Tuesday, February 26, 2019

Using the Ellipsys Vascular Access System, Dr. Randel and potentially other VA physicians around the nation can now create a percutaneous arteriovenous fistula (AVF), a less invasive innovation for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).

Key Points: 
  • Using the Ellipsys Vascular Access System, Dr. Randel and potentially other VA physicians around the nation can now create a percutaneous arteriovenous fistula (AVF), a less invasive innovation for patients with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
  • Its a game-changer, and it transforms a commonly performed traditional surgery into a minimally invasive procedure that will benefit the veterans we serve.
  • The recently FDA-cleared Ellipsys System gives physicians a unique non-surgical option for AVF creation, a procedure that had previously not changed in over 50 years.
