A tunneled catheter is a medical device used for long-term access to the bloodstream. It consists of a thin, flexible tube that is inserted into a large vein, typically through a small incision in the chest or neck. The catheter is "tunneled" under the skin to create a secure and stable access point. Tunneled catheters are commonly used for administering medications, fluids, or for drawing blood in patients who require frequent or prolonged intravenous therapy, such as chemotherapy, dialysis, or long-term antibiotic treatment. This design helps reduce the risk of infection and provides a convenient and reliable way to access the vascular system.

Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm is a condition in which the wall of the aorta, the main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body, becomes weakened and balloons out.

IVC filter insertion is a medical procedure in which a small, cone-shaped device called an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter is implanted into the large vein that carries blood from the lower body back to the heart. This filter is typically used to prevent blood clots from traveling to the lungs and causing a pulmonary embolism, especially in patients who are at a high risk of clot formation and cannot use blood-thinning medications. During the procedure, a doctor guides a catheter into the IVC through a small incision in the groin or neck, allowing the filter to be placed and capture any potential clots, thus reducing the risk of a life-threatening condition.

Carotid artery diseases refer to a group of medical conditions that affect the carotid arteries, which are major blood vessels located in the neck. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the brain. Common carotid artery diseases include carotid artery stenosis, where the arteries narrow due to the buildup of plaque, and carotid artery dissection, which involves a tear in the artery's inner lining. These conditions can restrict blood flow to the brain and increase the risk of stroke or other neurological complications. Management and treatment often involve medication, lifestyle changes, or surgical interventions to reduce the risk of complications.

Venous ultrasonography is a non-invasive medical imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of the veins in the body. It is commonly used to diagnose and evaluate conditions related to the venous system, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), varicose veins, and venous insufficiency. During the procedure, a special ultrasound probe is applied to the skin over the area of interest, and the resulting ultrasound images help healthcare providers assess blood flow, detect blockages, and guide treatment decisions. Venous ultrasonography is a safe and effective tool for diagnosing and monitoring vascular conditions, often avoiding the need for more invasive procedures.

Peripheral Vascular Diseases, also known as Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) or Peripheral Arterial Disease, are a group of circulatory disorders that affect the blood vessels outside of the heart and brain. These conditions typically involve the narrowing or blockage of arteries in the limbs, such as the legs, leading to reduced blood flow to the extremities. Common symptoms include leg pain, cramping, numbness, and weakness, especially during physical activity. If left untreated, Peripheral Vascular Diseases can increase the risk of serious complications, including tissue damage, ulcers, and in severe cases, amputation. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to improving quality of life and preventing further complications. Treatment options may include lifestyle changes, medications, and, in some cases, surgical interventions to restore proper blood flow.

Peripheral Vascular Diseases

Aortic aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge in the aorta. Aortic aneurysms can dissect or rupture which can lead to split the layers of the artery wall, allowing blood to leak in between them.

Vasculitis is a medical condition characterized by inflammation of the blood vessels, which can affect arteries, veins, and capillaries throughout the body. This inflammation can lead to a wide range of symptoms, including pain, skin rashes, organ damage, and in severe cases, life-threatening complications. Vasculitis can be caused by various underlying factors, including autoimmune disorders, infections, or medications. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and manage the underlying cause, aiming to control symptoms and prevent further damage to blood vessels.

Carotid endarterectomy is a surgical procedure designed to remove plaque buildup from the carotid arteries, which are the major blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain. This surgery is typically performed to reduce the risk of stroke by restoring normal blood flow and preventing the narrowing or blockage of these vital arteries. During the procedure, a surgeon makes an incision in the neck, opens the carotid artery, removes the accumulated plaque, and then closes the artery. Carotid endarterectomy is a well-established treatment for individuals with significant carotid artery blockages and is often recommended to lower the risk of stroke in those at high risk.

Carotid Endarterectomy

Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT) is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat varicose veins. During EVLT, a thin laser fiber is inserted into the affected vein through a small incision, typically in the leg. The laser emits focused energy to heat and close off the varicose vein, causing it to collapse and eventually be absorbed by the body. This procedure is a popular alternative to traditional vein stripping surgery and offers a quicker recovery time with minimal scarring. It is effective in reducing the symptoms of varicose veins, such as pain, swelling, and discomfort, while improving the appearance of the legs.
