What Type of Vascular Illnesses Could You Develop?
Vascular disease entails conditions that occur in the veins and arteries. These include:
· Varicose veins
· Deep vein thrombosis
· Venous insufficiency
· Vasculitis
· Peripheral artery disease
· Carotid artery disease
· Coronary artery disease
· Renal artery disease
· Aneurysm
The majority of the vascular disorders in this list are caused by blood clots, atherosclerosis, swelling, and traumas.
What Methods Are Used to Detect Vascular Illnesses?
Although your symptoms might indicate a specific vascular illness, specialist imaging techniques are the only way to diagnose issues in your veins and arteries with certainty.
Dr. Chadda employs various imaging techniques at Advanced Heart & Vascular Associates, including advanced nuclear imaging, vascular ultrasound, and peripheral angiograms. These varying procedures develop images revealing the function and anatomy of your veins, arteries, and heart.
What Are the Treatment Options for Vascular Illnesses?
Dr. Chadda decides the best care alternative for you depending on your diagnosis and the degree of your vascular illness. He initiates your treatment with drugs, lifestyle modifications, and the management of chronic health concerns before contemplating a more invasive alternative.
If you have an extensive blockage, Dr. Chadda advises one of several minimally invasive therapies. Although they represent different treatments, he performs all of the following treatments with catheters placed into blood vessels:
Endovenous Ablation
Dr. Chadda removes varicose veins with Medtronic’s ClosureFastTM treatment. He threads the catheter through your vasculature to the veins of interest, then ClosureFast softly warms and seals the veins using radiofrequency energy.
VenaSeal™
VenaSeal, a Medtronic-developed improved varicose vein therapy, closes the vein using a medical adhesive.
Angioplasty and Stenting
In angioplasty, Dr. Chadda uses an inflated balloon at the end of a catheter to press the clot against the artery wall. He then places a wire mesh stent in the artery to keep it open.
Venous Stenting
Deep vein thrombosis is commonly addressed by eliminating the clot, followed by Dr. Chadda inserting a stent to keep the vein open and avoid recurrent blood clots.
Atherectomy
Dr. Chadda utilizes a catheter with a specific blade on the tip to remove plaque. Atherectomies come in various forms. A rotational atherectomy, for instance, utilizes a high-speed rotary shaver.
Thrombectomy
A thrombectomy is a technique that involves utilizing a catheter with a retriever to eliminate a blood clot from a vein or artery.
IVC Filter Placement
Dr. Chadda might deploy a filter in the inferior vena cava (IVC) if you suffer from peripheral artery disease. Once plaque ruptures, the IVC filter gathers blood clots and prevents the particles from entering your brain, lungs, or heart.
At the first indication of a vascular illness, you should talk to a doctor right away.
