This condition affects the large arteries in your neck that carry blood to your brain. When these arteries get narrow, it can raise your risk of stroke.

Treatments to help open the artery and lower stroke risk:

• Angioplasty and stenting
• Carotid Surgery
• Medications

This happens when the veins in your legs have trouble sending blood back to your heart. Your legs may swell, itch, or develop skin changes over time.

Common treatments to reduce swelling and improve blood flow:

• Compression Therapy
• Endovenous Ablation (Laser or radiofrequency)

DVT is a blood clot that forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg. It can cause swelling and pain, and the clot can be dangerous if it moves to the lungs.

Treatments to prevent new clots and stop the clot from growing:

• Medications (blood thinners)
• Thrombolysis or thrombectomy

PAD happens when the arteries in your legs get narrow and slow down blood flow. This can cause pain when you walk and make it harder for your legs to heal.

Varicose veins are large, twisted veins you can see under the skin. They may cause aching, swelling, or a heavy feeling in your legs.

Common treatments to reduce swelling and improve blood flow:

• Compression Therapy
• Endovenous Ablation (Laser or radiofrequency)

The following are some descriptions of some common vascular testing. Your vascular surgeon will explain all tests in detail to you and give you instructions on how to prepare for the test and what to expect afterward.

The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a measurement that is useful to your physician in evaluating the circulation in your legs.

• Your physician will measure your blood pressure in your ankle and in your arm using a blood pressure cuff and an ultrasound. Your physician will compare the two numbers by forming a ratio to determine your ABI.
• The blood pressures in your ankle and arm should be about equal. But if your ankle pressures are lower than your arm pressures, your leg arteries are probably narrowed.

• Abdominal imaging- for identification and evaluation of aneurysmal disease of the aorta and its branches.
• Carotid imaging - ultrasound of the carotid arteries to identify or rule out carotid artery disease.
• Mesenteric - evaluates blockages in the mesenteric arteries that may be contributing to abdominal pain or ischemia of the intestines.
• Renal imaging - ultrasound of the arteries to the kidney to evaluate if there are significant blockages in those arteries that could cause kidney failure or severe hypertension.
