Arterial Diseases - Universal Hospital

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)

A circulatory disorder characterized by the narrowing or blockage of blood vessels, typically in the legs, leading to reduced blood flow and potential symptoms such as leg pain and poor wound healing.

Carotid Artery Disease

A condition in which the carotid arteries, located in the neck, become narrowed or blocked, increasing the risk of stroke.

Upper and Lower Limb Critical Ischemia

Severe and often painful conditions resulting from insufficient blood supply to the upper or lower extremities, which can lead to tissue damage and necrosis.

Renal Aneurysms

Weakness and ballooning of blood vessels within the kidneys, which can pose a risk of rupture and internal bleeding.

Renal Artery Stenosis

The narrowing of the renal arteries that supply blood to the kidneys, potentially causing hypertension and kidney dysfunction.

Takayasu's Arteritis

A rare inflammatory disease affecting the large arteries, leading to arterial narrowing, decreased blood flow, and a range of associated symptoms.

Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

A condition involving the compression of nerves and blood vessels in the thoracic outlet region, leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, and weakness in the arms and hands.

Popliteal Artery Aneurysm

The development of an aneurysm within the popliteal artery behind the knee, which can pose risks like clot formation or rupture.

Aortic Aneurysm

The abnormal dilation or bulging of the aorta, the body's primary artery, which may be life-threatening if it ruptures.

Aortic Dissection

A serious medical emergency in which the layers of the aortic wall separate, potentially leading to severe pain and life-threatening complications.

Arteriosclerosis/ Atherosclerosis

The accumulation of fatty deposits and plaque on the inner walls of arteries, causing them to narrow and impeding blood flow.

Arteriovenous Malformation

An abnormal network of blood vessels that directly connect arteries and veins, potentially leading to irregular blood flow and various health issues.

Mesenteric Ischemia

Reduced blood flow to the intestines, which can result in severe abdominal pain and tissue damage, often caused by vascular problems affecting the mesenteric arteries.
