A carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure to open or clean the carotid artery with the goal of stroke prevention. It is a durable procedure but not a cure; though rare, blockage can accumulate again.

If you have diabetes, complications from the disease can put you at significant risk for amputation of a foot or leg. Diabetic foot care is a simple list of things you can do daily—at home, guided by your doctor—to protect your feet against wounds and avoid amputation.

(EVAR) Endovascular repair is a preferred treatment for many people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), and an alternative for some who do not qualify for open surgery.

This procedure is done at the hospital in the Operating Room, typically under a local anesthesia. A small incision is made over the beginning of an unhealthy vein at which point the vein is tied off, restricting the reversed flow.

Procedure affects the tributaries (small branches) and is done at the hospital in the Operating Room usually under a local anesthesia. Very small puncture wounds are made in proximity to the varicose vein to pull them out and to disrupt their flow.

Procedure is done at the clinic. Sclerosant (Sodium Tetradecyl Sulfate) is injected into a vein and fuses the vein closed. Sclerodex (Dextrose and NaCL) is also used for spider veins.

When the wall of a blood vessel weakens, a balloon-like dilation called an aneurysm sometimes develops. This happens most often in the abdominal aorta, an essential blood vessel that supplies blood to your legs.

Atherosclerosis is a disease process leading to hardening and narrowing (stenosis) of your arteries. The buildup of fat, cholesterol, calcium and other substances creates plaques inside arteries, which can lead to serious problems including heart attack, stroke, amputation and death. Treatment includes preventive, medical, endovascular and open surgical.

With the help of a natural or synthetic graft, a surgical bypass routes blood flow around an area of blockage caused by peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The surgery does not cure the disease or remove the blockage. Think of a surgical bypass as a road detour.

The bilateral temporal artery segment is removed on bilateral sides of your forehead to diagnose inflammation of the blood vessel called Giant Cell Arteritis. It is an outpatient procedure performed in the Operating Room at the hospital.
