Diagnostic Vascular Imaging

Get clarity on your vascular health with safe, non-invasive technology to detect potential issues early.

  • Venous Doppler Ultrasound – Detects blood clots and evaluates vein valve function.

  • Arterial Doppler Ultrasound – Assesses arterial blockages and plaque buildup.

  • Segmental Pressure Test with ABI – Measures blood pressure in limbs to pinpoint blockages.

  • Abdominal Aortic Ultrasound – Screens for abdominal aortic aneurysms.

  • Iliocaval Ultrasound – Evaluates venous circulation in the abdomen and pelvis.

  • Renal Duplex Ultrasound – Examines kidney artery blood flow.

  • Vein Mapping Ultrasound – Maps vein structure for surgery planning.

  • Hemodialysis Access Ultrasound – Ensures optimal function of dialysis access.

  • Mesenteric Duplex Ultrasound – Checks for blood flow issues in intestinal arteries.

  • Angiograms – Uses contrast dye to view artery conditions.

  • Fistulagrams – Examines dialysis access with contrast dye.

  • Venograms – Identifies vein compression or abnormal flow.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Effective treatments with faster recovery and fewer risks using catheter-based techniques.

  • Angioplasty – Uses a balloon to open narrowed arteries.

  • Stenting – Places a mesh tube to keep an artery open.

  • Atherectomy – Removes plaque buildup from artery walls.

  • Endovascular Aneurysm Repair – Stent graft placed inside weakened artery.

  • Transcarotid Artery Revascularization – Minimally invasive stroke prevention procedure.

Surgical Treatments

Advanced surgical options to restore or preserve blood flow and prevent complications.

  • Carotid Endarterectomy – Removes plaque to prevent stroke.

  • Open Aneurysm Repair – Repairs large or ruptured aneurysms.

  • Bypass Surgery – Creates a new route around a blocked artery.

  • AV Fistula and Graft Creation – Establishes access points for dialysis treatment.

  • Vagal Nerve Stimulator – Implanted device to control nerve signals.

  • NeoBarostim Placement – Device regulates blood pressure via nerves.

  •
