Our Process of Care
Patients referred for a vascular condition will be evaluated by Physicians specializing in vascular care. The patient’s risk factors will be assessed and/or the stage of disease progression will be determined. Many patients can manage their disease with medication or diet and exercise programs. Some can be treated with interventional catheterization procedures. Numerous surgical options are available for patients who are not candidates for medical or interventional treatments. At times combined open/endovascular procedures can be offered to patients to minimize recovery time following the procedure.
Deborah’s Comprehensive Vascular Program offers the confidence that a team of the region’s best specialists are working together to determine the most appropriate options for all patients.
New Era of Total Vascular Care
By combining the expertise of cardiologists, radiologists and vascular surgeons, the quality of vascular care provided to Deborah patients and the ability to identify patients at high cardiac risk will improve.
Prevention of atherosclerosis, lipid management, hypertension control, and modification of behavioral risk factors such as smoking, can be effectively managed simultaneously with diagnosis and treatment of the presenting problem.
This concept of care will result in better clinical outcomes not only for patients with vascular disease, but also for patients with heart disease. This new era of total vascular care will positively impact both lifestyle and health.
