I have extensive experience in performing endovascular procedures, including angioplasty and stenting for vascular access complications. My previous role involved managing complex cases such as failed AV fistulas and grafts, where I successfully restored patency using advanced techniques. I also have a strong background in using imaging modalities like ultrasound and fluoroscopy to guide these procedures, ensuring precision and patient safety.

I actively participate in continuing medical education (CME) programs, attend national and international conferences, and regularly review the latest research publications in nephrology and interventional radiology. Additionally, I am a member of professional societies such as the American Society of Nephrology (ASN) and the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR), which provide valuable updates and networking opportunities.

One challenging case involved a patient with a chronically occluded AV graft. After multiple failed attempts by other specialists, I used a combination of angioplasty and stenting, along with thrombolytic therapy, to successfully reopen the graft. The key was a meticulous approach, involving detailed pre-procedure imaging and careful post-procedure monitoring to ensure long-term patency.

Patient safety is my top priority. I ensure thorough pre-procedure assessments, including patient history and current medications, to minimize risks. During procedures, I maintain clear communication with the patient and the surgical team, and I use advanced imaging to guide every step. Post-procedure, I closely monitor the patient for any complications and provide detailed follow-up care instructions.

I manage stress by maintaining a structured approach to each procedure, ensuring all necessary preparations are completed before starting. I also rely on my extensive experience and the support of my team. Regular breaks and mindfulness practices help me stay focused and composed. Additionally, I prioritize continuous learning to enhance my skills and confidence in handling complex cases.
