Understanding Vascular Conditions and Treatments
- Types of Vascular Disease
-
Your vascular system is composed of an extensive network of arteries and veins that are pathways for blood and oxygen to travel to your vital organs. Vascular disease is a term for conditions that affect your blood vessels, and may include:
- Aneurysmal Disease: involves artery walls weakening over time, causing bulges in the arteries
- Carotid Artery Disease: carotid arteries in the neck become blocked with plaque, which may lead to a stroke
- Peripheral Arterial Disease: a buildup of plaque forms in the arteries, usually in the legs Venous diseases: involves issues with vein functioning in veins returning blood from the body back to the heart and lungs, including deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism
- Spider and Varicose Veins
-
If you have enlarged, discolored or painful veins just below the skin on your legs, they might be spider or varicose veins. These veins aren’t harmful to your health in most cases, but many people want them removed for aesthetic reasons.
- Spider Veins: caused by the dilation of a small group of veins near the skin's surface and are commonly red or purple sunbursts found on the face and legs
- Varicose Veins: swollen or enlarged veins caused by damage in the vein valves that may appear raised, bulging, or twisted
- Minimally Invasive Treatments
-
Our vein care specialist uses non-surgical techniques to treat vein disease, including minimally invasive techniques that help you get back to normal activity sooner.
