Conditions We Treat

An abdominal aortic aneurysm, also known as AAA, occurs when a weakened area in the wall of the abdominal aorta bulges or expands. The aorta is the major blood vessel that supplies blood to the body. The most common location of an abdominal aortic aneurysm is located below the kidney arteries, called an intrarenal AAA. A ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm can cause life-threatening bleeding. An aneurysm can be characterized by its location, shape, and cause.

Aortic dissection is a rare and uncommon emergency situation where the aorta, the major blood vessel that branches off from the heart and carries blood to the body, tears. Sudden, severe pain in the back and chest, unconsciousness, and difficulty breathing and speaking are all symptoms, and immediate emergency treatment is required.

With time, the carotid arteries can progressively narrow, usually from cholesterol build up and is called "plaque." Most of the time, the narrowing does not cause any problems, but if the build-up becomes severe or active, it may cause a stroke or transient neurological symptoms.

Chronic limb-threatening ischemia is a serious condition where blood flow to the arms or legs is blocked. It can happen when peripheral artery disease becomes severe.

A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that can occur in patients with diabetes and is commonly located on the bottom of the foot. Ulcers that become infected, result in most patients having to be hospitalized, increase the risk of potential lower extremity amputation and in extreme cases, may cause death.

Certified lymphedema therapists utilize Complete Decongestive Therapy- the gold standard treatment consisting of manual lymph drainage, bandaging, and exercises to help with movement and drainage of the lymph fluid and reduction in limb size.

Mesenteric artery stenosis is a condition where the arteries that bring blood to the intestines are blocked or narrow. This is usually caused by a buildup of plaque on the artery wall, but it can also be caused by a blood clot or injury to the area.

Peripheral artery disease happens when plaques made of fatty substances, cholesterol and waste products deposit inside the artery walls, decreasing blood flow. Sometimes called clogging or hardening of the arteries, this can affect arteries in the heart, brain, legs, kidneys and other organs.

Post-thrombotic syndrome is a condition that people can develop after they have a deep vein thrombosis (a type of blood clot). It can happen weeks or months after the initial clot.

The renal artery carries blood to the kidney. When there is a narrowing (stenosis) of the artery and blood flow is slowed, the kidney does not have normal function, causing high blood pressure, kidney atrophy (disease), and other conditions. 

A vascular infection is an infection in your arteries or veins. It can be caused by bacteria, fungi, or viruses. Vascular infections usually happen after vascular surgery, and can appear months or even years after the surgery. They can also happen when a serious infection somewhere else in your body moves into your bloodstream.

Vascular trauma is an injury to your blood vessels (arteries and veins). If left untreated, vascular trauma can cause blood clots, life-threatening bleeding, damage to a limb, or a stroke.

Venous disease (insufficiency) occurs when the valves in the leg veins do not work as they should, either blocking blood flow down the legs or allowing backflow leakage. 

Venous leg ulcers are open sores caused by issues with blood flow in your leg veins. They most commonly develop near the ankle.
