Uterine fibroids can cause heavy, painful,\u00a0erratic menses that cause anemia, easy tired- ness, dizziness, and poor tolerance for exer- cise. Many women with uterine fibroids suffer needlessly,
\nunaware of\u00a0minimally-invasive\u00a0resources to\u00a0end their\u00a0misery.One such treatment offered by our specialists is uterine artery embolization in which blood flow to the fibroids is blocked, killing them.<\/p>\n

Smoking, diabetes mellitus, hypertension,\u00a0high blood cholesterol can narrow or obstruct blood flow to the feet, the kidneys, the brain, and the intestines. This may cause the loss of\u00a0a\u00a0limb, uncontrolled hypertension, stroke, or\u00a0abdominal pain after eating, but our specialists use simple tools to treat such problems in\u00a0minimally-invasive procedures called angioplasty,\u00a0atherectomy, and stenting.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They use similar measures (excluding atherectomy) – called venoplasty and venous stenting<\/strong> – to\u00a0re-open narrow and occluded veins in the limbs,\u00a0the abdomen, or the chest. Such venous problems can occur in those who may have worn a catheter\u00a0in their chest for hemodialysis or for the admin-istration of fluids, drugs, or nutrition and in people\u00a0who may have had blood clot in their limbs or their veins pressed on or invaded by cancer.<\/p>\n

Dialysis Access Maintenance<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Patients with kidney failure rely on hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis to live, if renal transplant is\u00a0not possible. Those on hemodialysis may have catheters put into them by our specialists or an\u00a0artery connected to a vein in an area of their body\u00a0by a vascular surgeon. These accesses are connected to achines that dialyze their blood\u00a0(remove impurities and water) on set days of the\u00a0week. The catheters and arteriovenous connections, called dialysis accesses, frequently malfunction or fail and our specialists restore their function.<\/p>\n

Vertebro<\/strong>plasty and\u00a0<\/strong>kyphoplasty<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The back bone\u00a0(vertebral column) may fracture with little or no force in people with osteoporosis or some malignancies of the bone marrow. This can cause unpleasant pain until the\u00a0fracture heals. The pain can be quickly alleviated or eliminated by us injecting “bone\u00a0cement” into the injured bone using image guidance.<\/p>\n

EVLT, phlebectomy, sclero<\/strong>therapy for varicose vein.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

When valves regulating the drainage of\u00a0venous blood from the lower limbs are de- fective, the pressure in the veins rises over\u00a0time and fluid and impurities are inefficiently cleared from the legs. The legs may\u00a0ache, feel heavy, swell, tire easily during\u00a0walks, and their surface veins grow wormy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
