Vascular Services
Vascular medicine focuses on the non-invasive diagnosis and treatment of all problems involving the circulatory system outside of the heart. These problems may involve:
- arteries, which deliver blood from the heart to the tissues
- veins, which deliver blood back to the heart
- lymphatic system, which transports lymph fluid back to the circulation
Commonly encountered conditions in the field of Vascular Medicine include:
- peripheral arterial disease - blockages in the leg arteries; may cause pain with walking
- carotid artery stenosis - blockages in the neck arteries; may lead to a stroke
- renal artery stenosis - blockages in the kidney arteries; may contribute to high blood pressure and/or chronic kidney disease
- abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) - a bulging of the aorta that may cause it to rupture
- venous problems such as deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and chronic venous insufficiency
- Raynaud’s, vasculitis, lymphedema, and other less common vascular conditions
