Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
PAD is caused by a chronic narrowing or blockage in the arteries and can lead to several problems, including cramps, pain, sores, skin-color changes and ulcers. In the most severe cases, called critical limb ischemia (CLI), amputation may be needed.
May-Thurner Syndome (MTS)
MTS is defined by compression of the left common iliac vein by the right common iliac artery. This compression narrows the left common iliac vein and reduces the amount of blood that can be circulated out of your legs.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
DVT occurs when a blood clot develops deep in a vein. This can be life threatening if part of or the whole clot dislodges and travels to the lung. This is called a pulmonary embolism and you should seek urgent medical attention.
Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CVI)
CVI is commonly caused by the failure or degradation of the valves in your veins. Some common symptoms of CVI include varicose veins and spider veins.
Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS)
PTS typically occurs as a result of a DVT or other trauma that causes damage to the valves in your veins. When your valves are damaged, blood pools because it is less efficiently circulated out of your legs.
Pelvic Congestion Syndrome (PCS)
PCS is caused by the pooling of blood in your pelvis due to insufficient outflow. This typically leads to symptoms in the pelvis but can exacerbate symptoms in your lower extremities as well.
