Expert Interventional Radiology Treatments for All Arterial and Venous Conditions
Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Veins are blood vessels that bring blood that is low in oxygen back to the heart for reoxygenation. There are many conditions that can damage the arteries and veins, as well as prevent them from fully functioning.
At 麻豆传媒高清版, our compassionate physicians provide expert care for a wide range of conditions affecting the arteries and veins. We understand that living with an artery or vein condition can be challenging — and that the idea of treatment may be overwhelming. We are here to help you achieve the best possible quality of life.

Conditions
: A condition that causes cramping or pain in the calf muscles during exercise because of reduced blood flow. This is caused by narrowing or blockages in blood vessels supplying blood to the leg.
Critical limb ischemia: A condition that causes pain in the legs when not moving, legs or foot wounds that do not heal, as well as possible in the toes or feet. This is caused by narrowing or blockages in blood vessels supplying blood to the leg.
Acute limb ischemia: A condition that causes a leg to become cold and not have a pulse. This can be caused by an acute in a leg vein that prevents blood flow. This is a medical emergency and immediate medical attention is important to save the leg.
Diabetic and arterial wounds: Patients with may develop poor circulation that can cause wounds on the feet. In some instances, wounds and ulcers may develop that may benefit from care and treatment.
Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): A condition in which blood clots form on the inside of the deep veins. This can prevent or block blood flow to the heart or lungs. DVT most often develops in the legs, but occasionally occurs in the arms and other parts of the body. DVT causes pain, swelling and changes in skin color throughout the legs.
Our team also specializes in inferior vena cava (IVC) filters placement and removal to prevent DVT. Learn more about IVC filter placement and removal by our specialists.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD): Plaque made up of cholesterol or fats, calcium or scar tissue can build up in the arteries (the blood vessels that deliver oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body). This buildup can cause the arteries to narrow or stiffen, causing poor circulation (blood flow) and preventing oxygen from reaching the body. PAD is caused when the plaque builds up so that it restricts circulation in the arms and legs. PAD can cause pain and increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Post-thrombotic syndrome: This condition affects up to half of patients in the months and years after developing acute DVT. Doctors and scientists do not completely understand this condition. Damaged and clot-filled veins obstruct (block) blood flow, which leads to an increase in pressure in the leg, cramping, swelling, tingling sensations and other symptoms.
(PE): This serious condition occurs when part of a blood clot breaks off in the leg or arm, travels through the veins, heart and into the pulmonary arteries (the arteries that supply the lungs with blood). When diagnosed and treated quickly, the survival rate for PE is high.
Vasculitis: This condition is caused by blood vessels becoming inflamed. The inflammation can cause the blood vessel walls to thicken, which restricts blood flow. There are many different types of vasculitis, including fibromuscular dysplasia.
: This condition is caused by increased pressure in the leg, sometimes caused by prior DVT or other venous conditions. Venous insufficiency causes pain, swelling and ulcers in the leg.
: Varicose veins are enlarged, sometimes tortuous (twisted) veins that are caused by increased pressure in the veins.
Vascular malformations: Vascular malformations are present at birth (congenital) and can cause birthmarks and other conditions.
