Comprehensive and Minimally Invasive Treatments for Vascular Diseases

Our state-of-the-art facility offers a wide range of minimally invasive treatment options for vascular disease. Under the guidance of Dr. Diego Hernandez, our team specializes in the following procedures:

Angioplasty: In this procedure, a catheter is inserted into the blocked artery and inflated with a balloon to open the blockage and restore proper blood flow.
Stenting: When angioplasty isn't sufficient to resolve the issue, a stent—a small metal cylinder—is used to support the blood vessel's wall and keep it open.
Atherectomy: This procedure involves using a diamond burr that spins at high speeds inside the affected artery to shave down plaque, restoring blood flow.

Understanding Deep Vein Thrombosis

Deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, is a serious medical condition where blood clots form in the deep veins of the body, most commonly occurring in the iliac veins or the veins of the leg in the groin or pelvis area. If left untreated, DVT can lead to life-threatening complications, especially if a blood clot dislodges and travels to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.

What is Vascular Disease?

Vascular disease encompasses a broad range of conditions that impact the arteries and veins. From slowed or blocked blood flow to backflow or pooling of blood, these conditions can lead to severe health issues like heart attacks, strokes, and even limb amputations if left untreated.

Some of the common vascular diseases we address include:

Arterial Disease

One common type of vascular disease is arterial disease, which includes conditions like peripheral artery disease (PAD). With PAD, plaque builds up inside the arteries, causing them to become hardened and narrowed, thus restricting the flow of oxygenated blood to the legs and other extremities. If left unaddressed, PAD can lead to severe consequences, such as heart attacks, strokes, or even the need for limb amputation due to gangrene.

Venous Disease

Another category of vascular disease is venous disease, which encompasses conditions like varicose and spider veins. These conditions arise when blood moves backward instead of toward the heart due to faulty valves in the blood vessels. While varicose and spider veins may not always be life-threatening, they can cause discomfort and cosmetic concerns.

Blood Clots

One example of this is deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which occurs when blood clots form within the deep veins of the body. This can have serious consequences if a clot dislodges and travels to the lungs, leading to a pulmonary embolism.

Risk Factors

What are the Risk Factors for Vascular Disease?

Recognizing the risk factors for vascular disease is crucial for early detection and prevention. While family history and genetics can play a significant role, other factors can also increase your vulnerability to developing vascular conditions.

Early detection and preventive measures are vital to managing vascular health. If you have concerns about vascular issues or possess multiple risk factors, our experienced medical professionals at Bloomfield Vein & Vascular are ready to provide a thorough examination and personalized care to help you mitigate risks and maintain a healthy vascular system.

These include:

Diabetes: People with diabetes are more susceptible to vascular issues due to elevated blood sugar levels that can damage blood vessels.
Smoking: Smoking damages blood vessels and increases the risk of plaque buildup, narrowing arteries, and blood clot formation.
Obesity: Being overweight or obese puts extra strain on the cardiovascular system, leading to an increased risk of vascular disease.
High blood pressure: Hypertension can damage blood vessels over time and is a significant risk factor for various vascular conditions.
Inactivity: A sedentary lifestyle can lead to poor circulation and contribute to the development of vascular disease.
High cholesterol levels: Elevated cholesterol levels can lead to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, restricting blood flow and causing vascular problems.
