Vascular Solutions
Minimally invasive endovascular procedures to restore blood flow, prevent limb loss, and improve quality of life for patients with peripheral arterial disease
Limb Salvage
Prevent amputation
Outpatient
No hospital stay
Fast Recovery
Rapid healing
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) affects over 8 million Americans, causing reduced blood flow to the limbs. Our minimally invasive interventions restore circulation and prevent serious complications.
Traditional open vascular surgery requires large incisions, general anesthesia, and extended hospital stays with significant recovery time. Endovascular interventions offer a modern alternative performed through small punctures in the groin or wrist.
Using advanced imaging guidance, our vascular specialists thread specialized catheters through the arterial system to treat blockages from the inside—without the need for major surgery.
This approach dramatically reduces procedural risks, eliminates the need for general anesthesia in most cases, and allows patients to return home the same day with minimal recovery time.
No Large Incisions
Small puncture sites heal quickly with minimal scarring
Same-Day Discharge
Most patients go home within hours of the procedure
Lower Complication Rates
Reduced surgical risks compared to open procedures
Leg Pain with Walking
Claudication that improves with rest
Nonhealing Wounds
Ulcers or sores on feet or toes
Cold Feet or Legs
Temperature differences between limbs
Weak Pulses
Diminished or absent pedal pulses
Skin Color Changes
Pale, blue, or shiny skin on legs
Rest Pain
Severe pain even without activity
We offer a comprehensive range of minimally invasive techniques tailored to your specific arterial disease
Most Common Endovascular Procedure
Balloon angioplasty mechanically opens narrowed or blocked arteries by inflating a specialized balloon inside the vessel. When combined with stent placement—a metal scaffold that keeps the artery open—this procedure provides durable restoration of blood flow.
How It Works: A thin catheter is advanced to the blockage site under X-ray guidance. The balloon is inflated to compress plaque against the artery wall, widening the channel. A stent may then be deployed to prevent the artery from re-narrowing.
Best For: Iliac, femoral, and popliteal artery stenosis; short to medium-length blockages; claudication symptoms
Success Rate
90-95%
Procedure Time
1-2 hours
Recovery
Same day
Advanced Plaque Removal Technology
Unlike angioplasty which compresses plaque, atherectomy physically removes atherosclerotic material from inside the artery using specialized cutting, grinding, or laser devices. This creates a smoother channel with improved blood flow.
Techniques Available: Orbital atherectomy (diamond-coated crown), directional atherectomy (cutting blade), laser atherectomy (excimer laser)
Best For: Heavily calcified lesions; long-segment disease; in-stent restenosis; below-the-knee arteries
Success Rate
85-92%
Procedure Time
1.5-3 hours
Recovery
1-2 days
Clot-Dissolving Therapy
For acute arterial occlusions caused by blood clots, catheter-directed thrombolysis delivers clot-dissolving medication directly to the blockage site. This targeted approach maximizes efficacy while minimizing bleeding risks associated with systemic thrombolytic therapy.
Advanced Options: Ultrasound-accelerated thrombolysis (EKOS) uses sound waves to enhance drug penetration into the clot, reducing treatment time from days to hours.
Best For: Acute limb ischemia; bypass graft occlusion; embolic events; recent-onset thrombosis
Success Rate
80-90%
Treatment Time
6-48 hours
Hospital Stay
1-3 days
