Interventional Vascular Services
Vascular disease affects blood vessels, critical arteries and circulation in the legs and arms. Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) generally strikes those over the age of 45 and is a frequent complication of diabetes. Factors that create higher-than-average risk include smoking, excess weight, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, heart problems and a family history of artery disease.
Halifax Health provides access to a variety of interventional vascular specialists including fellowship-trained vascular surgeons; board certified interventional radiologists and physicians with a focus on cardiovascular disease. Our specialists work with expert clinical staff to provide the highest of quality care for the treatment of various vascular conditions.
Our physicians are able to treat vascular disease by performing minimally invasive procedures using small incisions, tiny instruments and imaging techniques. These procedures are generally less traumatic to patients than surgery, and result in less pain and shorter hospital stays.
