FAQs

What is vascular disease? 
Vascular disease refers to conditions that affect the blood vessels, including arteries and veins, throughout the body. These conditions can restrict blood flow, potentially leading to serious complications. Vascular diseases include peripheral artery disease, varicose veins, and deep vein thrombosis, among others.

What symptoms indicate a vascular problem? 
Symptoms can vary depending on the specific vascular condition but may include pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, or wounds that won't heal. It's essential to seek medical attention if you experience any unusual or persistent symptoms related to your legs or circulation.

How are vascular conditions diagnosed? 
Vascular conditions are diagnosed through a variety of tests, including ultrasound, angiography, CT scans, and MRIs. These diagnostic tools allow our specialists to visualize blood flow and identify any blockages or abnormalities in the blood vessels.

What treatments are available for vascular conditions? 
Vascular conditions can be treated through various methods, including lifestyle changes, medications, minimally invasive procedures such as angioplasty and stenting, as well as surgical interventions like vascular bypass surgery. The choice of treatment depends on the specific condition and its severity.

Are the procedures painful? 
Most vascular procedures are minimally invasive and performed under local anesthesia. Patients might experience some discomfort, but it is usually well-managed, and the recovery period is relatively short.

How long does recovery take after vascular procedures? 
Recovery time varies based on the procedure and individual patient factors. Minimally invasive procedures often have shorter recovery periods, allowing patients to resume normal activities within a few days to a couple of weeks. Surgical procedures might require a more extended recovery period.

Can vascular conditions be prevented? 
Yes, many vascular conditions can be prevented or managed effectively through lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, quitting smoking, and managing conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Regular check-ups and early intervention are also crucial for prevention.

Is insurance accepted, and what is the billing process?
Yes, our vascular center accepts most major insurance companies. Please contact us about accepted insurance providers and to understand the billing process.
