Chronic Venous Disease
Chronic Venous Disease (CVD) is a complex vascular condition that encompasses a spectrum of disorders affecting the venous system. Our vascular medical website is dedicated to providing comprehensive insights into the diagnosis and treatment of CVD.
From varicose veins to more advanced manifestations like venous ulcers, our vascular specialists employ a tailored approach that may include minimally invasive procedures such as endovenous ablation, sclerotherapy, or ambulatory phlebectomy. By addressing the underlying causes and symptoms of CVD, our goal is to enhance overall vascular health, improve quality of life, and prevent the progression of this chronic condition.
Mesenteric Ischemia
Mesenteric Ischemia is a vascular condition characterized by insufficient blood flow to the intestines, particularly the mesenteric vessels supplying the digestive organs. This inadequate blood supply can lead to tissue damage and, if left untreated, bowel infarction. Mesenteric Ischemia can be acute or chronic and is often caused by factors such as blood clots, arterial embolism, or atherosclerosis. Symptoms may include severe abdominal pain, weight loss, and digestive issues.
Diagnosis involves imaging studies, and treatment aims to restore blood flow through interventions like angioplasty, stent placement, or, in severe cases, surgery. Early detection and intervention are crucial to prevent complications and preserve bowel function in Mesenteric Ischemia.
