Meridian Venous Access & Feeding Tubes

Interventional radiology has been described as the surgery of the new millennium. It is a medical sub-specialty of radiology utilizing minimally-invasive image-guided procedures to diagnose and treat diseases in nearly every organ system. The concept behind interventional radiology is to diagnose and treat patients using the least invasive techniques currently available in order to minimize risk to the patient and improve health outcomes. These procedures have less risk, less pain and less recovery time in comparison to open surgery.

Interventional radiologists work closely with patients, their nephrologists and their vascular surgeons to help maintain functional hemodialysis access in hemodialysis patients.

A tube is placed in the stomach for a variety of conditions in which a patient is unable to take sufficient food by mouth for a prolonged period of time. Variations allow feeding directly into the intestines.

A central venous access catheter is a tube that is inserted beneath your skin so there is a simple, pain-free way for doctors or nurses to draw your blood or give you medication or nutrients. These include PICC lines, Mediports, Hickman catheters, and dialysis catheters.
