Vascular Medicine
At Flowers Hospital, vascular care specialists are trained to deliver care for a range of conditions that affect the arteries and veins, from varicose veins and deep vein thrombosis to atherosclerosis and aneurysm. The vascular medicine team provides diagnostic services, risk-factor management and non-surgical and surgical treatment options, including minimally invasive options when available.
As we age, blood vessels tend to thicken and narrow due to a build-up of plaque and cholesterol. But for some individuals, this build-up restricts the blood flow, leading to vascular diseases and conditions such as aneurysms, deep vein thrombosis and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). PAD can lead to blood clots, difficulty walking, foot ulcers, gangrene and even loss of the limb.
The Heart and Vascular Institute at Flowers Hospital provides specialized care in the area’s first endovascular hybrid lab with board-certified, fellowship-trained vascular surgeons treating vascular conditions that may be preventing you from enjoying a healthier life.
