Vascular Conditions

Carotid artery disease often causes no warning until a TIA or stroke. Evaluation helps define severity and the safest prevention plan.

Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the leg. Prompt diagnosis helps prevent clot extension and pulmonary embolism.

Leg pain that starts with walking and improves with rest may signal reduced blood flow. Evaluation can distinguish vascular causes from joint, nerve, or spine problems.

One swollen leg and two swollen legs suggest different possibilities. A focused evaluation can identify venous, cardiac, medication, and lymphatic causes.

May-Thurner syndrome is compression of a pelvic vein that becomes clinically important when it causes swelling, pain, or DVT.

A wound cannot heal well without adequate blood flow and pressure control. Arterial, venous, neuropathic, and infectious causes require different care.

Peripheral artery disease reduces blood flow to the legs and feet. Evaluation considers symptoms, circulation, walking limits, and wounds.

Pulmonary embolism can be life-threatening. Call 911 for sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, coughing blood, or fainting.

Varicose veins form when vein valves fail and blood pools under pressure. Symptoms can include aching, heaviness, swelling, itching, and skin change.
