Our vascular care services

The conditions we treat typically fall into two main categories: vascular and vein.

Vascular conditions

Circulatory system diseases can take many forms and Grady’s vascular care specialists have treated them all:

To resolve chest pain and other heart-related issues, Grady surgeons routinely perform:

Aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection. An aortic aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge in the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from the heart through the chest and torso. Aortic aneurysms can dissect or rupture when the force of pumping blood splits the artery wall, allowing blood to leak.
Chronic arterial insufficiency is a common condition affecting mainly older patients. It normally involves the lower limbs and leads to leg numbness or pain.
Chronic venous insufficiency occurs when your leg veins don’t allow blood to flow back up to your heart. This can cause blood to collect (pool) in your legs.
Peripheral vascular disease is a slow, progressive circulation disorder caused by narrowing, blockage, or spasms in a blood vessel.
Diabetic foot ulceration is an open sore or wound that occurs in roughly one of seven patients with diabetes. It is commonly located on the bottom of the foot.
Carotid artery disease occurs when fatty deposits (plaques) clog the blood vessels that deliver blood to your brain and head (carotid arteries). The blockage increases the risk of stroke.
Venus stasis ulcers are wounds on the leg or ankle caused by abnormal or damaged veins. Abnormal veins can be hereditary. Veins can also be damaged by blood clots, injury, aging, and obesity.
Renal artery stenosis is the narrowing of one or more arteries that carry blood to your kidneys (renal arteries), which can compromise the kidneys’ ability to filter waste.
Mesenteric artery stenosis is the narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the intestines, which can result in pain, weight loss, nausea, diarrhea, or bleeding.

Vein conditions

Healthy valves inside your veins ensure that blood flows in one direction. If the valves are damaged, they may not close completely, allowing blood to flow in both directions. If the valves cannot hold the blood, this can cause pooling of blood or swelling in the veins. Several conditions can result:

Varicose veins are bulging, swollen, purple veins, seen just under the skin.
Venus stasis ulcers are wounds on the leg or ankle caused by abnormal or damaged veins. Abnormal veins can be hereditary. Veins can also be damaged by blood clots, injury, aging, and obesity.
Leg swelling is caused by the retention of fluid in leg tissues. It can be caused by a problem with the venous circulation system, the lymphatic system, or the kidneys
