If you have been diagnosed with a vascular disorder, our vascular surgeons deliver advanced care to help improve how your blood circulates through your body. Is there plaque buildup in your veins or arteries? Are the valves in your veins working correctly? Is there a bulge or weakness in the wall of a vein? Vascular specialists at Ascension Medical Group St. Vincent deliver personalized care for many conditions, including:
- Aortic aneurysm
- Carotid artery blockage
- Chronic venous insufficiency (venous reflux)
- Deep vein thrombosis
- Peripheral artery disease
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Thoracic outlet syndrome
Our vascular surgeons and IR specialists use duplex ultrasound imaging to understand how your blood flows through your veins. It is a standard imaging test to diagnose deep vein thrombosis. Besides artery and vein concerns in your legs, arms and chest, our vascular surgeons also diagnose and treat clogged carotid arteries in the neck, a risk factor for stroke. Vascular surgeons specialize in monitoring and treating blood clots and other serious vascular disorders. At this location, we provide trivascular screenings.
At your appointment, your specialist at Ascension Medical Group St. Vincent listens to understand you and your symptoms. Then, we work together on a care plan. If surgical treatment is recommended, we provide minimally invasive techniques, whenever possible, to help shorten your recovery.
