Conditions

PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE

CHRONIC VENOUS INSUFFICIENCY (CVI)

Testing

DOPPLER ULTRASOUND FLOW STUDIES

Using blood pressure cuffs and a doppler ultrasound device, pressure in the ankle and arms is compared. The use of small blood pressure cuffs placed around the toe and a sensor to record waveforms and blood pressure measurements.

DOPPLER ULTRASOUND FLOW STUDIES

Examine high-frequency sound waves using a computer to create images of blood vessels, tissues, and organs.

Photoplethysmography (PPG)

Use of small blood pressure cuffs placed around the toe and a sensor to record waveforms and blood pressure measurements.

STRESS TESTING OR EXERCISE STRESS TESTING

Testing to measure the heart’s ability to react over stress conditions such as exercise or by intravenous pharmacological stimulations. It involves either exercising by walking on a treadmill or riding a stationary bike or by receiving a drug that simulates the effect of exercising.

Procedures

VENOUS ABLATION

The Catheter gets inserted into veins and heats up into the affected area. The heat closes the vein causing the vein to close and restricting blood pools in the leg.

VARITHENA

Vein treatment works by injecting foam into the veins in order to close the walls. It is a minimally invasive and painless procedure with no incisions, sedation, or general anesthesia.

ANGIOGRAM

When catheterization is being performed, the doctor will inject contrast dye through the catheter into the blood vessels and use x-ray images to view blood flow through your heart, arteries, and valves.

SCLEROTHERAPY

A chemical is injected into the veins causing them to close and impede blood flow. Blood then returns through other veins and the body absorbs the scarred veins.

INTRAVASCULAR ULTRASOUND

A high- frequency sound wave device that captures inside images of the blood vessels. The images help us to understand the percentage of obstruction stored in the walls of the vessels.

LOWER EXTREMITY REVASCULARIZATION

The revascularization procedure consists of inserting a stent in the blockage area or performing a bypass to open the passage for positive blood flow outcomes. This minimally invasive procedure avoids the need for surgery and the use of general anesthesia
