Getting You Back into Your Flow

A steady supply of blood is critical to keeping our bodies healthy and functional. This is made possible by our body's network of arteries and veins, known as the circulatory system. Vascular disease is any condition that disrupts this system and keeps oxygen-rich blood from reaching certain parts of the body.

At UP Medical, we understand the impact that chronic diseases like diabetes can have on the circulatory system. Utilizing the latest technologies and an integrated practice approach, our team delivers comprehensive, whole-person care that addresses vascular disease in tandem with other chronic conditions.

Our aim is to stop disease progression, restore blood flow, relieve pain and get you back to the activities you love while preventing future complications in the process.

An Integrated Approach to Vascular Care

We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of complex vascular diseases affecting the arteries and veins outside of the heart. Our surgeons, technologists, nurses, wound care experts and other specialists work collaboratively to a manage a wide range of vascular diseases covering:
Venous Disease
We have expertise in diagnosing and treating the entire spectrum of venous disease, including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins and venous ulcers – all of which can have a significant impact on an individual’s quality of life.

Our goal is to stop the disease progression, restore blood flow and prevent future complications all around. To do this, we use a range of minimally invasive and surgical techniques, and provide coordinated care and guidance every step of the way.

Peripheral Arterial Disease
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a circulation disorder that affects the blood vessels outside of the heart. Not only do we specialize in the treatment of PAD, but we are also experts in treating the leg pain, ulcers and ischemia (severe lack of blood flow to the body’s tissues) that can come with it.

Our multidisciplinary team of surgeons works hand in hand with wound care experts and other specialists to reduce pain, promote quick and effective healing, and avoid amputation where possible.

Carotid Artery Disease
Our team offers specialized treatment for conditions affecting the carotid arteries, which are the main blood vessels that carry blood and oxygen to the brain.

We use the latest imaging technologies for accurate diagnoses, and customize each treatment plan to the patient's unique needs. Our objective is to reduce blockage and reinstate blood flow, address any modifiable risk factors and prevent stroke from occurring.

Dialysis Access
Dialysis access points require consistent care to avoid infection and other complications. Our team is highly trained in meeting the needs of dialysis patients by providing them with comprehensive dialysis access intervention, management and maintenance.

As specialists in vascular access techniques, we provide arteriovenous fistula (AVF) and arteriovenous graft (AVG) creation and revision, and peritoneal dialysis (PD) catheter placement. Our Vascular team and dialysis coordinator are dedicated to making every patient feel comfortable, well-informed and confident on the road to improving their quality of life.

FAQs

What are Venous disease?

Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen veins that are visible under the skin’s surface. They occur when the valves in your veins don't function at full capacity, allowing the blood to flow in the wrong direction and pool. They are most common in the legs because standing and walking increase the pressure on veins in the lower body.

What are spider veins?

Varicose veins are enlarged, swollen veins that are visible under the skin’s surface. They occur when the valves in your veins don't function at full capacity, allowing the blood to flow in the wrong direction and pool. They are most common in the legs because standing and walking increase the pressure on veins in the lower body.

How common are varicose and spider veins?

Varicose veins and spider veins affect approximately 30% to 60% of adults, and are more common in women than men. They tend to get more prevalent with age, but certain factors can hasten their onset. These include pregnancy, obesity, prolonged sitting or standing, and genetic predisposition.

What causes varicose veins?

Varicose veins occur when the valves inside your veins do not function properly. In a healthyvein, the valves open to let the blood flow to the heart and close to stop it from flowingbackward. But, if these valves become weak or damaged, the blood can flow back and pool inthe vein, causing it to become enlarged and swollen. Certain factors can increase the likelihoodof developing varicose veins. These include age, pregnancy, a family history of varicose veins,obesity, and long periods of sitting or standing.

Are varicose veins hereditary?

In many cases, varicose veins are hereditary. A combination of genetic and environmental factors determines your risk of developing them. If one or both of your parents have varicose veins, you are more likely to have them as well.
