The Vascular Diagnosis
and Treatment Program
Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a common condition
affecting middle-aged or older individuals. It can lead to stroke, premature death,
limb loss, disabling leg pain, kidney failure, or other potentially devastating
complications.
Today, even advanced PVD can be effectively treated to greatly diminish the
risks and disabilities.
The Vascular Diagnosis and Treatment Program at Tufts Medical Center
provides state-of-the-art, multidisciplinary treatment
for all forms of PVD.
The Vascular Diagnosis and Treatment Program joins board-certified and specially trained vascular surgeons and
vascular radiologists in a unique program offering medical treatments, catheter
and balloon treatments, and surgical treatments for PVD.
These expert clinicians apply the latest in technology
and minimally invasive approaches to greatly diminish the risks and disability
associated with PVD.
Each patient's individual health profile is carefully studied to ensure that
all recommended treatments can be carried out with minimal risk. When necessary,
expert cardiology assessment and treatment also are available to minimize the
risks of associated heart disease.
