Treatment for All Vein and Vascular Conditions
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening: We conduct an ultrasound to identify an AAA, which is a blood-filled bulging of the abdominal aorta.
Venous Consults: We utilize our advanced medical technology to diagnose vascular disease at early stages when treatment may be more effective.
Diagnostic Tests: Our diagnostic screenings may include angiography, intravascular ultrasounds, CO2 angiography, and more.
Endovascular Treatment: We use stents, angioplasty, laser atherectomy, thrombectomy, or by-pass surgery to treat narrow arteries and restore blood flow to the legs.
Comprehensive Treatment Options
Some of the conditions and symptoms we treat include:
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD): A progressive condition that, when left untreated, can reduce mobility and increase risk of amputation.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI): A condition caused by faulty valves that allow blood to pool in the leg veins, which can result in painful symptoms.
Diabetic Foot Ulcers & Foot Pain: An estimated 24% of patients with diabetes who develop a foot ulcer will require amputation. Don’t be one of them.
Varicose Veins: Caused by in effective valves in veins, these bulging veins are a sign of venous insufficiency. The condition is more common in women and worsens with age.
Critical Limb Ischemia: A condition caused by an obstruction in the arteries which reduces blood flow and causes severe pain and ulcers.
Leg and Foot Swelling: Known as “edema,” leg and/or foot swelling can be cause by numerous factors, including venous insufficiency.
Do you have one or more of these symptoms? If so, it could be a sign of PAD or CVI.
