Precise Surgical Care For Vascular Conditions

Happy senior couple enjoying life after heart surgery care at Oracle Heart & Vascular

Vascular disease affects the arteries and veins that carry blood throughout your body. When blood flow becomes blocked or abnormal, it can lead to pain, non-healing wounds, infection and serious health risks if left untreated. At Oracle Heart & Vascular, our vascular surgery services provide advanced surgical treatments and minimally invasive techniques for complex arterial and venous conditions. Our goal is to restore healthy circulation, reduce symptoms and improve daily life for our patients through vascular surgery.

Conditions Vascular Surgery Can Treat

Diagnosing your condition is vital and helps our experts determine how to best treat it. We ensure that every treatment plan is carefully tailored to each patient’s anatomy, disease severity and your health goals. Patients who are diagnosed with the following vascular conditions may benefit from vascular surgery:

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

PAD occurs when arteries supplying blood to the legs become narrowed or blocked, often causing leg pain with walking, slow-healing wounds and increased risk of limb complications.

Carotid Artery Disease (CAD)

CAD involves narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the brain and increases the risk of stroke. Early detection and treatment are critical for stroke prevention.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)

An AAA is a weakening and enlargement of the main artery in the abdomen that can rupture if untreated. We may recommend surgical repair when aneurysms reach a size that poses significant risk.

Venous Ulcers

Venous ulcers are a complication of chronic venous insufficiency. They are slow-healing wounds typically found near the ankles and lower legs caused by chronic venous insufficiency. Without treating the underlying vein disease, ulcers may recur or worsen.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

DVT is the formation of blood clots in deep veins, usually in the legs. These clots are potentially life threatening if they travel to the lungs and should be treated promptly.

Lymphedema

Lymphedema causes swelling due to impaired lymphatic drainage and can lead to discomfort, skin changes and increased risk of infection.

Vascular Surgery Procedures We Offer At Oracle Heart & Vascular

Our vascular surgery team offers both open surgical and catheter-based interventions, selecting the most appropriate approach for each patient. Rest assured, your safety is our top priority, and before recommending vascular surgery, our specialists perform detailed diagnostic testing such as vascular ultrasound, CT angiography and venography or angiography.

Our vascular surgery services include:

Bypass graft surgery reroutes blood around blocked arteries using a graft to restore circulation to affected limbs or organs.

Endarterectomy is a procedure that removes plaque buildup from inside an artery. It is commonly used in carotid artery disease to reduce stroke risk.

Amputation may be necessary for severe cases of infection or tissue damage where circulation cannot be restored. When limb amputation is needed, it is to prevent life-threatening complications.

Venography uses contrast imaging to visualize veins and guide catheter-based treatment of blockages or abnormal flow.

IVC filters are placed in patients with high risk for pulmonary embolism when blood thinners cannot be used. Once the risk decreases, these filters can often be removed.

This procedure is used in urgent cases and physically removes large blood clots from veins or arteries.

Pharmacomechanical Thrombolysis combines medication and mechanical techniques to dissolve and remove blood clots. This helps to reduce long-term vein damage and other complications.

Iliac Artery Revascularization restores blood flow through blocked pelvic arteries using surgical or catheter-based methods. It can help to relieve symptoms in the leg and improve circulation.

Vascular Embolization is used to treat aneurysms, tumors or vascular malformations by intentionally blocking abnormal or bleeding blood vessels.
