Our Vascular Treatments

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) Treatment

How We Treat It

At Vegas Vascular Specialists, abdominal aortic aneurysm treatments (AAA) are never one-size-fits-all. Depending on the size, growth rate, and anatomical involvement, our doctors may recommend endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), open surgical correction, or highly specialized fenestrated and branched repairs when branch arteries must be preserved. Every decision made by our surgeons is guided by imaging precision and rupture risk assessment.

Who Should Seek This Treatment?

Aneurysms larger than 5.5 cm, rapidly expanding sacs, symptomatic back or abdominal pain, or radiological signs of instability require immediate vascular attention.

Benefits

  • Eliminates the imminent threat of rupture.
  • Reinforces compromised arterial segments.
  • Allows elective correction instead of emergency surgery.
  • Provides durable structural integrity for complex anatomy.

Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease Treatment

How We Treat It

When blockages specifically in the aorta and iliac arteries decrease blood flow to the pelvic and lower extremities, the condition is known as aortoiliac occlusive disease. We treat it using aortoiliac occlusive disease treatment methods such as angioplasty with stenting or bypass surgery, depending on the severity of the obstruction. Our team of vascular experts aims at restoring continuous blood flow through the arteries as opposed to masking the symptoms.

Who Should Seek This Treatment?

Patients reporting progressive walking pain, rest discomfort, reduced lower limb endurance, or ischemic skin changes should not delay evaluation. Additionally, if you are suffering from concurrent kidney artery issues, you may also benefit from renovascular disease treatment that we offer. 

Benefits

  • Improves exercise tolerance.
  • Reverses circulation-related fatigue.
  • Protects tissue viability before irreversible damage occurs.

Carotid Artery Disease Treatment

How We Treat It

Stroke prevention begins with addressing carotid narrowing at its source. Our team performs carotid artery disease treatment using carotid endarterectomy for direct plaque removal or carotid stenting when a minimally invasive route is more appropriate. Each intervention is selected after thorough cerebrovascular risk profiling.

Who Should Seek This Treatment?

Significant stenosis, recurrent transient ischemic attacks, or imaging-confirmed high stroke risk despite medication warrant timely intervention.

Benefits

  • Reduces the probability of future stroke events.
  • Stabilizes vulnerable plaque.
  • Improves cerebral perfusion dynamics.
  • Lowers the risk of recurrent neurological episodes.

Additionally, if you suffer from venous insufficiency, the varicose veins treatment we offer is worth considering. 

Carotid Artery Disease Treatment

How We Treat It

Large pelvic and upper leg clots demand decisive action. At Vegas Vascular Specialists, we use catheter-directed thrombolysis, mechanical clot extraction, venous angioplasty, and guided anticoagulation protocols to restore patency in major venous channels. These treatments also form a key part of venous thromboembolism treatment, which addresses the broader risk of blood clots in the veins and lungs.

Who Should Seek This Treatment?

Extensive proximal thrombosis accompanied by marked swelling, pain, or high post-thrombotic risk requires urgent evaluation for iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis treatment.

Benefits

  • Rapid decompression of obstructed veins.
  • Reduction in limb pressure and heaviness.
  • Preservation of venous valve function.
  • Decreased likelihood of chronic venous insufficiency.

Dialysis Access Treatment

How We Treat It

Dialysis access is critical for survival when one is suffering from end-stage renal disease. To provide you the best possible treatment,  our team constructs AV fistulas and grafts, rescues failing access through angioplasty or thrombectomy, and places temporary catheters when immediate dialysis is required.

Who Should Seek This Treatment?

Blocked access points, reduced dialysis flow rates, or recurrent clotting episodes should be addressed without delay with hemodialysis access treatment.

Benefits

  • Maintains uninterrupted dialysis scheduling.
  • Extends the lifespan of vascular access sites.
  • Reduces access-related complications.
  • Ensures adequate blood filtration efficiency.

Limb Salvage Treatment

How We Treat It

Critical limb ischemia demands the coordinated intervention of trained surgeons, and we provide you with exactly that and more. Our team combines revascularization procedures with aggressive wound management and infection control strategies to halt tissue loss and restore perfusion in salvageable extremities.

Who Should Seek This Treatment?

Gangrene, advanced infection, non-healing ulcers, or severely compromised circulation require immediate vascular assessment. 

Benefits

  • Interrupts progression toward amputation.
  • Supports restoration of viable tissue.
  • Stabilizes circulation in compromised limbs.
  • Preserves long-term functional independence.

In cases where the limb cannot be safely preserved, we provide expert non-salvageable extremity treatment, including amputation and rehabilitation, to ensure the best functional outcomes.

Lower Extremity Aneurysm Treatment

How We Treat It

Popliteal and femoral aneurysms are addressed through stent graft placement or surgical bypass, depending on vessel anatomy and thrombotic risk. Our doctors evaluate distal circulation carefully before determining the optimal repair strategy as part of lower extremity aneurysm treatment.

Who Should Seek This Treatment?

Patients with symptomatic aneurysms, such as pain, swelling, or neurological symptoms, or those demonstrating progressive enlargement, intraluminal thrombus, or compromised distal perfusion, are candidates for this treatment.

Benefits

  • Prevents distal embolization.
  • Secures structurally weakened arteries.
  • Maintains downstream perfusion.
  • Reduces sudden vascular compromise.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Treatment

How We Treat It

PAD management at Vegas Vascular Specialists includes angioplasty, plaque debulking through atherectomy, stent placement, or bypass surgery when necessary. The treatment pathway is guided by disease severity and functional limitation.

Who Should Seek This Treatment?

Persistent claudication, delayed wound healing, and progressive arterial narrowing should be evaluated before advancing to critical ischemia, making timely peripheral arterial disease treatment essential.

Benefits

  • Expands arterial lumen diameter.
  • Enhances microvascular tissue oxygenation.
  • Promotes closure of ischemic wounds.
  • Slows progression toward advanced limb disease.

Mesenteric Ischemia Treatment

How We Treat It

We employ mesenteric ischemia treatment through angioplasty with stenting or surgical revascularization, depending on the severity and arterial involvement. Our doctors focus on restoring adequate blood supply to the intestines before permanent damage occurs. By reopening blocked mesenteric arteries, we help reverse the underlying cause rather than simply managing symptoms.

Who Should Seek This Treatment?

If you are experiencing severe abdominal pain after meals, unexplained weight loss, food avoidance due to discomfort, or imaging-confirmed bowel ischemia, you should not ignore these warning signs. Mesenteric ischemia can progress quickly, and early vascular intervention significantly improves outcomes.

Benefits

  • Relief from post-meal abdominal pain.
  • Restoration of healthy intestinal blood flow.
  • Improved nutrient absorption and digestion.
  • Reduced risk of bowel infarction.
  • Lower likelihood of emergency abdominal surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How soon should I consider treatment for vascular disease if my symptoms are mild?
Even if you have mild symptoms, we encourage early consultation for treatment of vascular disease. Because these diseases progress quietly, early consultation enables us to identify issues related to decreased blood flow or venous dysfunction.
How do I distinguish whether I need thoracic outlet syndrome treatment or if it is posture-related pain?
If your symptoms of arm fatigue, swelling, or discoloration persist despite stretching and posture correction, it is likely that you require thoracic outlet syndrome treatment. To assess if your vessels are impaired, our clinic uses motion imaging prior to diagnosis.
Can venous insufficiency impact my mobility in the long run if untreated?
Yes. The swelling, sensitivity, and pain you have been experiencing because of venous insufficiency can decrease your mobility over time. Our staff allows you to address the issue before it affects your quality of life through early identification of abnormalities.
When is varicose vein treatment considered a medically urgent condition as opposed to an elective procedure?
Urgency is indicated when the veins are painful, inflamed, prone to bleeding, or when there is sudden swelling. In such cases, varicose veins treatment is given priority in order to avoid any serious vascular complications.
Am I too young to develop vascular disease?
Age is not a factor. Contributing factors include family history, smoking, diabetes, prolonged sitting, or hormonal imbalances. We assess each patient individually with objective diagnostic criteria.
How long does it take to recover after a vascular procedure?
Recovery time depends on the complexity of the procedure. Minimally invasive procedures may resume light activity in a few days, while more complex repairs require longer observation. Personalized recovery times are discussed during consultation.
Can untreated vascular problems increase my risk for other health conditions?
Yes. Vascular problems put pressure on the surrounding tissues and may increase the risk of systemic events. Early assessment can help avoid complications related to the heart, brain, and limbs. Our philosophy is centered on early detection and prevention.
