VASCULAR DISEASE
Peripheral or non-cardiac vascular diseases are disorders of blood vessels that carry blood to and away from all other tissues of the body. Vascular conditions can be caused by blockages that restrict blood flow to vital organs and tissues or by progressive weakening and enlargement of major arteries which results in the formation of aneurysms.
Our vascular specialists offer patients experienced care for any vascular disease, with advanced and minimally invasive treatments for aortic aneurysm, carotid artery disease, vascular access for kidney failure, and arterial reconstruction of the legs.
Illnesses and disability caused by peripheral vascular diseases include:
- Stroke
- Aneurysms
- Hypertension/Kidney failure
- Walking impairment
- Limb loss
Peripheral vascular experts provide specialized care for venous problems as well, including:
- Deep venous thrombosis
- Thrombophlebitis
- Pulmonary embolism
- Chronic venous insufficiency
- Varicose veins
The spectrum of vascular disease is broad and complex, representing serious, sometimes fatal and often debilitating health concerns.
