Radia Center for Vascular Disease and Radia Vascular Institute of the Northwest feature the collaboration of two specialties – vascular surgery and interventional radiology – merged to serve the community’s needs within the Radia family. The physicians and state-of-the-art equipment combine to offer a full spectrum of services, including:
- Vascular – Ultrasound Lab
- Cosmetic and Therapeutic Treatment for Vein Problems
- Vascular and Thoracic Surgery
- Interventional Vascular Radiology
Vascular Ultrasound Lab
Vascular Ultrasound procedures determine risks and presence of vascular disease.
Services include:
Cerebrovascular:
- Carotid Duplex - Ultrasound imaging with pulsed color doppler spectral analysis
- Transcranial Doppler - Intracranial blood flow
Peripheral Arterial:
- Lower Extremity
- Upper Extremity - Segmental pressures, exercise response, Duplex imaging
Venous:
- R/O DVT (Deep Venous Thrombosis)
- Venous Reflux - Venous imaging and flow dynamics which include compression maneuvers and patency evaluation
Abdominal:
- Visceral
- Aorta / Illiacs
- Renal
Vascular and Thoracic Surgery
Vascular and thoracic surgeons operate on the heart, aorta, peripheral
arteries, lungs, esophagus and trachea including carotid artery disease,
abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms, and atherosclerosis, or hardening
of the arteries, among others.
Cosmetic and Therapeutic Treatments for Vein Problems
Radia Vein Center at Mill Creek and Radia Vascular Institute of the Northwest offer non-surgical and surgical treatment
for varicose veins and spider veins, including sclerotherapy and endovascular laser ablation therapy.
Interventional Radiology
Interventional vascular radiology employs minimally invasive, targeted
treatments performed using imaging guidance to, where appropriate, replace
open surgical procedures. They are generally easier for the patient because
they involve no large incisions, less risk, less pain and shorter recovery
times.
Procedures include:
- Balloon angioplasty to relieve blocked blood
vessels
- Insertion of stents to open blocked vessels
- Uterine Fibroid
Embolization (click here for brochure)
- Kyphoplasty
- Vertebroplasty
