You Have Persistent or Worsening Symptoms

If you have already undergone a medical screening and have been diagnosed or living with a vascular condition for a while, you likely have a firm understanding of what your daily symptoms are like. However, over time it’s possible for these everyday symptoms — such as pain, fatigue, and swelling — to worsen. This can be an indicator that your condition is progressing and that surgery may be necessary to improve your health and restore your ability to function in your daily life. Reach out to our vascular specialists today to discuss your options!

You Have Unsuccessfully Tried Other Treatments

Patients who have been diagnosed with vascular disease have access to several different treatment options, some of which are non-invasive. Our vascular specialists understand that many patients have been undergoing treatments such as medication and recommended lifestyle changes, but recognize that those alone may not be effective. If these treatments have been unsuccessful, and you have not seen significant improvement, vascular surgery may be the appropriate next step.

You Have One or More New Symptoms

Similar to how you should be monitoring yourself for worsening symptoms of vascular conditions and diseases, it’s also important to check for new symptoms. The vascular doctors at Vascular & Interventional Specialists know newly developing symptoms can also indicate a progressing condition, especially if a patient has never experienced them before.

You’re At Risk for Complications

If you have a vascular condition, you may be at risk for developing more serious complications like blood clots, aneurysms, and other difficulties. If you suddenly develop any of these complications, or if your primary care physician identifies you as being at a high risk of developing these complications, a surgical procedure may be necessary.
