COMMON PVD CONDITIONS

Peripheral Artery Disease or PAD

PAD is a condition where plaque guild-up causes the narrowing of the blood vessels which reduces blood flow to the limbs, and it is also known as atherosclerosis.

Deep Vein Thrombosis or DVT

DVT is a very serious but preventable condition which occurs when a blood clot forms deep inside the veins.

Deep Venous Insufficiency DVI

DVI is a condition where veins have difficulty returning blood to the heart.

Superficial (Surface) Veins

SVI is a condition where veins become too weak, large and twisted because of valve damage and fluid buildup.

Lymphedema

Lymphedema is a condition that affects the lymphatic vessels which can result in selling as fluid pools in the legs and feet.

Critical Limb Ischemia or CLI

CLI is a result of advanced staged PAD which means there is significant blockage in the arteries reducing blood flow to the legs and feed resulting in wounds that can lead to amputation.

Deep Venous Obstruction or DVO

DVO is a condition where the veins become compressed or blocked which restricts blood flow to the legs and feet.

Transcutaneous Pulse Oximetry

TCOM is a local, non-invasive measurement reflecting the amount of oxygen that has diffused from the capillaries through the first layer of the skin.

CT Angiography

CTA is a calculated tomography technique used to visualize arterial and venous vessels throughout the body.

Magnetic Resonance Angiography

An MRA is a type of imaging tool that uses magnetic wave and radio energy to locate and measure the severity of a blocked blood vessel.

Intravascular Ultrasound

IVUS is a special imaging process that uses a small catheter to image the interior of the blood vessels and to measure plaque build-up from within the arteries.
