We collaborate among the different specialties dedicated to provide comprehensive and inter-disciplinary care to patients with atherosclerosis, the process in which fatty materials, cholesterol, and other substances, collectively known as plaque, accumulate in the lining of an artery. When plaques becomes fragile and ruptured, they cause blood clots that can block blood flow or break off and travel to another part of the body, causing a heart attack, limb loss or stroke.
The arterial disease affects most people with age, especially in those who have high-risk factors that include patients who suffer from diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, a sedentary lifestyle, a family history of vascular disease (e.g. Aneurysms), poor nutritional habits or heavy smokers.
Patients with poor circulation usually have diseased arteries all over their body. Arteries usually affected are in the legs, heart, and neck. The severity of the disease and length of time it goes untreated can make a tremendous difference in the clinical outcome of a vascular disease, characterized by stroke, limb amputations or death.
Vascular surgery is a sub-specialty that deals with diseases of the vascular system; this includes the arteries, veins, and lymphatic circulation. The diseases are managed by medical therapy and minimally invasive catheter procedures. Vascular surgery involves various techniques such as balloon angioplasty, stenting, graft placement, and vascular reconstruction.
