The aorta is the largest artery in the body, responsible for carrying oxygen-rich blood from the heart to the rest of the body. Aortic diseases can be life-threatening and require specialized vascular care.
Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR) – A minimally invasive procedure to reinforce a weakened aorta.
Open Aortic Surgery – In cases where endovascular procedures are not viable, open surgery may be required to repair the aorta.
Lifestyle Changes – Managing risk factors such as smoking, high cholesterol, and hypertension to prevent progression.
Leg circulation issues can lead to significant discomfort and serious health complications. Vascular conditions affecting the legs can be caused by poor blood flow, vein disorders, or arterial diseases.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) – A condition where narrowed arteries reduce blood supply to the legs, leading to pain and cramping.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency – When veins in the legs fail to return blood efficiently, causing swelling, pain, and skin changes.
Leg Ulcers – Open sores resulting from poor circulation or untreated vein issues.
Lymphedema – Swelling in the legs due to lymphatic system blockages.
Claudication – Pain or cramping in the legs due to insufficient blood flow during exercise.
Angioplasty & Stenting – A minimally invasive procedure to open narrowed arteries.
Bypass Surgery – Creating a new route for blood flow in severely blocked arteries.
Compression Therapy – Improves circulation and reduces swelling.
Exercise Therapy – Helps improve blood flow and reduce symptoms.
Medications – Blood thinners, cholesterol-lowering drugs, or medications to improve circulation.
Excessive perspiration, or hyperhidrosis, is a condition where the body sweats excessively beyond what is necessary for temperature regulation. This can affect various areas, including the hands, feet, underarms, and face, causing discomfort and social anxiety
Primary Hyperhidrosis – Caused by overactive sweat glands, often with a genetic component.
Secondary Hyperhidrosis – Triggered by underlying medical conditions such as hormonal imbalances, infections, or nervous system disorders.
Emotional or Stress-Induced Sweating – Sweating triggered by anxiety or emotional stress.
Heat and Physical Activity – Excessive sweating in response to environmental temperatures or exertion.
Topical Treatments – Prescription-strength antiperspirants to block sweat glands.
Botox Injections – Temporarily blocks nerve signals that stimulate sweat production.
Oral Medications – Drugs that reduce sweating by blocking nerve signals.
Iontophoresis – A treatment using electrical currents to reduce sweating in hands and feet.
Surgical Options – In severe cases, procedures such as sympathectomy (cutting nerves that control sweating) may be considered.
Stroke is a serious medical condition that occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted, leading to potential brain damage. Preventive measures can significantly reduce the risk of stroke.
High Blood Pressure – The leading cause of stroke, increasing pressure on artery walls.
Diabetes – Can damage blood vessels and increase the risk of clot formation.
Smoking – Raises the risk of stroke by damaging blood vessels and increasing clotting tendencies.
High Cholesterol – Leads to plaque buildup, narrowing arteries and restricting blood flow.
Obesity and Sedentary Lifestyle – Increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke.
Atrial Fibrillation – An irregular heart rhythm that increases the likelihood of clot formation.
Regular Blood Pressure Monitoring – Keeping blood pressure under control.
Healthy Diet – Low in saturated fats and rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Regular Exercise – At least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days of the week.
Quitting Smoking – Reducing damage to blood vessels.
Managing Diabetes – Keeping blood sugar levels stable.
Medication – Taking prescribed medications for blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart conditions.
Dialysis access surgery is a critical procedure for patients with kidney failure who require long-term dialysis treatment. The goal of the surgery is to create a reliable and efficient access point for hemodialysis, ensuring optimal blood flow for effective treatment.
Patients with advanced kidney disease requiring dialysis should undergo access placement before starting regular treatments. Early planning helps prevent complications and ensures the access site matures properly before use.
Dialysis access surgery is a crucial step in managing kidney failure, providing a lifeline for patients undergoing hemodialysis. Consulting with a vascular surgeon can help determine the best access option tailored to individual needs.
