Title: update on vascular stuff
Post by: sullidog on December 05, 2011, 03:41:41 PM

well, I saw my surgeon today after the graft totally clotted off.
I had a permcath installed and on Wednesday he's going to do a thrombectomy to remove the clots. I prefer that over the angiojet because everytime I have the angiojet some of the clot goes to my lungs and it's hard to breathe until it desolves. He thinks my vein colapsed soon after the last angioplasty, so I hope this works! He wants to not use my graft 4 to 6 weeks so it heals.

Sulli, I'm sorry you are having to go through this!  :thumbdown;

Thank goodness for permacaths! I hope that this new procedure will get your fistula up and running again.  :cuddle;

Sulli, sorry you're having graft troubles and I hope it all gets better soon for you.  Hang in there.   :grouphug;
