CAD affects the arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain. Fatty material called plaque can build up inside the carotid arteries, causing them to narrow and reduce blood flow containing oxygen to the brain. This can lead to serious health issues such as memory loss, difficulty with language and vision, paralysis, stroke or even death.

Learn MoreAortoilliac disease refers to a narrowing or blockage in either the aorta, the iliac arteries or both.

Plaque can cause arteries to become narrow and stiff, a process called atherosclerosis—also known as hardening of the arteries.
Learn MorePAD is a circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs. When you develop peripheral artery disease your extremities - usually your legs - don’t receive enough blood flow to keep up with demand.
Learn MoreAAA is mainly caused by a weak area of the abdominal region of the aorta that fills up with blood and causes it to bulge (aneurysm). Over time, this area can further weaken and rupture, leading to internal bleeding and, in some cases, sudden death.
Learn MoreTAA is mainly caused by a weak area of the thoracic region of the aorta that fills up with blood and causes it to bulge (aneurysm). Over time, this area can further weaken and rupture, leading to internal bleeding and, in some cases, sudden death.
Learn MoreVenous insufficiency is a condition associated with the inability of the venous system to adequately return blood from the legs back to the heart and lungs.
