Diagnostic Services
Get an accurate diagnosis so you can get the best care for your specific vascular condition. Your physician may ask you to take advantage of one of the following in-office tests:
- Ankle brachial index – Evaluates your circulation by measuring the blood pressure in your ankle and your arm
- Doppler ultrasound – Shows how blood flows through your veins and arteries
- Duplex ultrasound – Reveals the structure of your blood vessels
- Exercise testing – Assesses your circulation by monitoring your blood pressure while you exercise on a treadmill or stationary bicycle
Treatments for Artery Conditions
Rely on Cone Health specialists for a variety of vascular procedures, including:
- Angioplasty – Restores blood flow through an artery narrowed by plaque
- Carotid artery surgery – Restores proper blood flow to the brain
- Hemodialysis access – Creates an easy-to-use entryway to your bloodstream for dialysis or other procedures
- Renal and mesenteric artery bypass – Create an alternate route for blood to flow around a blocked artery; also called artery reconstruction
- Stenting – Places a wire mesh tube in the artery to keep it open
Treatments for Vein Conditions
Trust CHMG surgeons to improve the function and appearance of your veins with procedures such as:
- Laser vein ablation – Improves circulation by sealing off varicose veins using heat from a laser
- Radiofrequency ablation closure (RF closure) – Improves circulation by sealing off varicose veins using radio waves
- Sclerotherapy – Injects a solution into a spider vein, causing it to collapse and fade
Minimally Invasive Endovascular Procedures
Whenever possible, our vascular surgeons use minimally invasive techniques instead of open surgery. During an endovascular procedure, your surgeon treats your circulatory condition using a long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter and special surgical tools.
Because the procedure uses smaller incisions, you’ll benefit from:
- Less pain and scarring
- Lower risk of complications
- A quicker recovery
CHMG vascular surgeons commonly use endovascular procedures to repair aneurysms and treat varicose veins.
