Goals

  • Provide comprehensive care to patients suffering from non-cardiac circulatory problems of the arteries and veins
  • Provide a comprehensive outpatient non-invasive vascular laboratory services
  • Provide percutaneous and/or endoluminal treatment options for cancer and non-vascular disorders

Arterial Circulation - Full range of open and minimally invasive treatments

  • Treatment of Thoracic Aneurysm, Abdominal Aneurysm, and other Aneurysms 
  • Treatment of Carotid Artery Disease 
  • Treatment of Arm Claudication or Vertebral insufficiency 
  • Treatment for Peripheral Arterial Vascular Disease and Ulcers/Wounds
  • Treatment of renal artery (malignant0 hypertension
  • Treatment for active arterial bleeding such as that related to trauma, gastrointestinal ulcers, diverticulosis, tumors, hemoptysis, post partum bleeding 
  • Treatment of Arteriovenous Malformations 
  • Thrombolytic therapy for acute ischemia of arm, leg or gut 
  • Embolization of tumors 
         Benign: uterine fibroids, angiomyolipoma, hepatic adenoma, bone tumors 
         Malignant: renal cell carcinoma, primary and metastatic liver tumors, soft tissue sarcomas, bone tumors     

Venous Circulation

  • Venograms 
  • Treatment of venous thromboembolic disease 
         IVC filters (permanent and removable) 
         Thrombolytic therapy for axillosubclavian or iliofemoral DVT 
         Mechanical thrombectomy of Pulmonary Embolus
  • Treatment of Venous Occlusions either due to benign or malignant process causing arm swelling, leg swelling, Budd Chiari syndrome, SVC syndrome
  • TIPS Procedure for treatment of Portal Hypertension causing variceal bleeding, refractory ascites, refractory hydrothorax, Budd-Chiari syndrome
  • Varicose and spider vein ablation 
         Sclerotherapy 
         Radiofrequency (minimally invasive) treatment of the saphenous and other veins 
         Traditional vein “stripping” when most appropriate
  • Chronic venous insufficiency of the legs

  • Pleurex catheter placement for refractory malignant pleural effusions and ascites 
  • Tumor therapy (primary and metastatic) of chest, abd, pelvis, bone, and soft-tissue
         Endovascular: embolization, chemoembolization, drug eluting beads 
         Percutaneous ablation, chemoembolization, and radioactive spheres 
  • Central venous access: Hickman catheter, Chest ports (Portacath), Apheresis catheters

Non-Vascular Disorders
