Heart conditions often occur when the coronary arteries, the vessels that carry blood to the heart, become blocked. Vascular conditions are caused by blockages in the arteries that supply blood to other parts of the body, such as the brain, arms, legs and kidneys. Some common vascular diseases include:
- Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)
- Peripheral vascular disease
- Carotid artery disease
Most people with vascular disease have no symptoms until an artery becomes severely blocked. Although early detection is possible through a series of sophisticated screenings and diagnostic tests. These included vascular ultrasounds, CT (computed tomography) scans, and angiography, an x-ray exam of the blood vessels.
Vascular diseases are most commonly treated with surgery. Many new and less invasive techniques have been developed to preform vascular surgery. These techniques are known as endovascular procedures and are preformed within the blood vessels. These procedures result in smaller, or in some cases no incisions, less pain, and faster recovery time.
