Treating the Arteries, Veins, and Lymphatic Systems
Visceral Aneurysm Embolization
Is a technique used
to treat aneurysms in the arteries supplying blood to the internal
organs. This procedure involves placing a coil or other embolic material
to block blood flow to the aneurysm, preventing rupture. At VIR
Chicago, we perform visceral aneurysm embolization with precision, using
the latest imaging technologies to ensure effective treatment.
Chronic Mesenteric Ischemia and Stenting
Addresses
the narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the intestines,
causing pain and digestive issues. Stenting involves placing a small
mesh tube in the artery to keep it open and ensure adequate blood flow.
Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) Embolization
treats abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the lungs.
This condition can cause significant health issues, including difficulty
breathing and an increased risk of stroke. Embolization involves using
coils or other materials to block the abnormal blood vessels. VIR
Chicago offers state-of-the-art embolization procedures to effectively
manage pulmonary AVMs.
Carotid Stenosis and Carotid Artery Stenting
Is used
to treat the narrowing of the carotid arteries, which can lead to a
higher risk of stroke. Carotid artery stenting involves placing a stent
to keep the artery open, ensuring proper blood flow to the brain.
Vein and Lymphatic Malformations
Are congenital
conditions that can cause swelling, pain, and other complications. These
malformations can be treated with sclerotherapy, laser therapy, or
surgical interventions to improve function and appearance.
