  Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting

  Angioplasty and stenting is a procedure to improve the blood flow in an artery or vein. It involves threading a thin tube with a balloon at its tip through the artery to the blocked portion. The balloon is inflated opening up the artery. A tiny mesh tube called a stent may be put into this area. It is left in place to help keep the artery open.

  Endovascular Coiling

  Healthcare providers use endovascular coiling, also called endovascular embolization, to block blood flow into an aneurysm. An aneurysm is a weakened area in the wall of an artery. If an aneurysm ruptures, it can cause life-threatening bleeding and brain damage. Preventing blood flow into an aneurysm helps to keep it from rupturing.

  Chemical Cardioversion

  Cardioversion is a procedure used to return an abnormal heartbeat to a normal rhythm. This procedure is used when the heart is beating very fast or irregular. This is called an arrhythmia. In chemical cardioversion, medicines are used to get the heart back to a normal rhythm. It is different from electrical cardioversion. This is where an energy shock is used to bring back a normal heart rhythm.

  Endovascular Repair of an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

  Endovascular repair is a type of treatment for an abdominal aortic aneurysm, or AAA. This is a bulge in the wall of the large artery below your heart that is at risk for rupture. During the procedure, the weak section of the aorta is treated to prevent it from tearing.

• Hemangioma

  Vascular Malformations and Hemangiomas

  Hemangiomas are growths of blood vessels. They’re also called birthmarks. But they often can't be seen at birth. They usually form in the first few weeks of life. Hemangiomas are more common in multiple births and low-birth weight premature infants.

• Interventional Radiology

  Interventional Radiology

  Interventional radiologists diagnose and treat disease. They treat a wide range of conditions in the body by inserting various small tools, such as catheters or wires from outside the body. X-ray and imaging techniques such as CT and ultrasound help guide the radiologist. Interventional radiology can be used instead of surgery for many conditions. In some cases, it can eliminate the need for hospitalization.

  Kyphoplasty

  Kyphoplasty is a procedure used to treat fractures or breaks in the vertebrae. It involves injecting a cement-like material into the vertebra to make it more stable.

• Minimally Invasive Surgery

  Methods of Surgery

  An "open" surgery means cutting the skin and tissues so that the surgeon has a full view of the structures or organs involved. Minimally invasive surgery is a relatively new approach that allows the patient to recuperate faster with less pain. Not all conditions are suitable for this type of surgery.

  Nosebleed (Epistaxis) in Children

  A nosebleed is bleeding from tissues inside the nose (nasal mucus membranes) caused by a broken blood vessel. Most nosebleeds in children occur in the front part of the nose close to the nostrils.

• Sclerotherapy

  Vein Removal

  Varicose and spider veins can be treated in several ways. Treatment may include: Compression therapy; Sclerotherapy; Ambulatory phlebectomy; Electrodesiccation; Laser surgery and intense pulsed light therapy; and Surgical ligation and stripping.

• Spinal AVM Embolization

  Spinal Arteriovenous Malformations

  Arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) occur when the connections between the veins and arteries don't form the right way. The vessels become entangled. Often, these abnormalities develop in the fetus, or in a newborn baby. AVMs can occur anywhere in the body. When they happen in the spinal cord and brain, they are called neurological AVMs. These are more likely to affect different parts of your body. This is because the brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system.

  Angioplasty and Stent Placement for the Heart

  Angioplasty, also called percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a procedure used to open blocked coronary arteries (caused by coronary artery disease) and restore blood flow to the heart muscle without open-heart surgery.

  Stroke

  A stroke, or brain attack, happens when blood flow to your brain is stopped. It is an emergency situation.

• Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

  Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

  A subarachnoid hemorrhage means that there is bleeding in the space that surrounds the brain. Most often, it occurs when a weakened area in a blood vessel (aneurysm) on the surface of the brain bursts and leaks. The blood then builds up around the brain and inside the skull increasing pressure on the brain. This can cause brain cell damage, life-long complications, and disabilities.
