  • Bypass graft evaluation and peripheral arterial duplex scanning
  • Carotid artery disease assessments
  • Lower extremity physiological testing
  • Renal artery and intestinal artery duplex scanning

Treatments

  • Catheter-based embolectomy/thrombectomy/thrombolysis
  • Catheter-based revascularization
  • Balloon angioplasty
  • Stenting
  • Atherectomy

  • Endovascular catheter-based stent grafting (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms
  • Large bore catheter thrombectomy (Vortex) for large volume central vein thrombosis (IVC) or clots in transit with pulmonary emboli (PE)
  • Pedal entry/pedal loop revascularization/reconstruction for patients with limb gangrene or limbs at risk that have no other vascular procedure options
  • Endovenous laser therapy (EVLT) for symptomatic varicose vein therapy
  • Stab phlebectomy/sclerotherapy for symptomatic spider vein therapy
