Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Evaluation & Management
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
The aorta is the largest blood vessel in the body. It delivers oxygenated blood from the heart to the rest of the body. An aortic aneurysm is a bulging, weakened area in the wall of the aorta. Over time, the blood vessel balloons and is at risk for bursting (rupture) or separating (dissection). This can cause life threatening bleeding and potentially death.

Carotid Angioplasty & Stenting
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.

Carotid Disease
Carotid Artery Disease
Carotid artery disease causes a narrowing of the major blood vessels that supply the brain. It is caused by atherosclerosis and can lead to a stroke.

Carotid Endarterectomy
Carotid Endarterectomy
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a surgical treatment for carotid artery disease. The carotid arteries are the main blood vessels that carry oxygen and blood to the brain. In carotid artery disease, these arteries become narrowed. This reduces blood flow to the brain and could cause a stroke.

Carotid Stenosis
Carotid Stenting
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 Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
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.

Hyperbaric Medicine
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Wound Healing
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves exposing the body to 100% oxygen at a pressure that is greater than normal. . Wounds need oxygen to heal properly. Exposing a wound to 100% oxygen may speed healing.

Hyperhidrosis
Excessive Sweating
Excessive sweating, also called hyperhidrosis, can affect the entire body, but usually occurs in the palms, soles, armpits, and/or groin area. Hyperhidrosis can lead to significant distress socially and in the workplace. The symptoms of excessive sweating may resemble other medical conditions. Always talk with your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.

Limb Salvage
Lymphedema
Life After Cancer: Lymphedema
Lymphedema is swelling in part of the body that may occur after cancer surgery or radiation. It's an ongoing (chronic) condition that has no cure. But you can do things to help reduce your risk for lymphedema.

Peripheral Aneurysm

Peripheral Venous Evaluation
Phlebitis
Spider Veins
Varicose Veins
Varicose veins are caused by increased blood pressure in the veins. Varicose veins happen in the veins near the surface of the skin (superficial). The blood moves towards the heart by one-way valves in the veins. When the valves become weakened or damaged, blood can collect in the veins. This causes the veins to become enlarged.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
Thoracic outlet syndrome is a variety of symptoms that happen from a narrowing of your thoracic outlet—the space between your collarbone and your first rib. It can result from injury, disease, or a problem you had from birth.

Vena Cava Filter
Inferior Vena Cava (IVC) Filter Placement
An inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is a small device that can stop blood clots from going up into the lungs. The inferior vena cava is a large vein in the middle of your body. The device is put in during a brief surgery.

Venous Disease
Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when your leg veins don’t allow blood to flow back up to your heart.

Wound Care
Vacuum-Assisted Closure of a Wound
Negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) is a type of therapy to help wounds heal. It's also known as wound VAC. During the treatment, a device decreases air pressure on the wound. This can help the wound heal more quickly.
