Dialysis Access Using a Rerouted Forearm Vein

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 36820

Creates a dialysis access in the forearm by freeing a vein along its length, moving it to a position closer to the surface, and joining it directly to an artery. The strong arterial flow makes the vein enlarge and its wall thicken over the following weeks so it can be punctured with needles for dialysis. It uses the patient's own vein rather than an artificial tube.
