The idea alone of having a hole in the heart can be concerning, but it’s more common than you might think. The important thing to remember is that when these holes are present, they typically don’t present any serious issues or symptoms. However, larger holes can increase the risk of serious health issues and may require treatment. Let’s discuss what a hole in your heart means, when it becomes an issue, and how it is treated.

Vein disease occurs when bad veins in our legs no longer do their job and allow blood to pool in our legs. This can lead to countless adverse symptoms and enlarged varicose veins.

VenaSeal is an in-office procedure that utilizes a medical adhesive to close bad veins in the legs to alleviate symptoms such as swelling, achiness, fatigue, and heaviness of the legs.

Blood returns to the heart through veins. When the blood clumps together and turns into solid material, it is called a blood clot. When the clot is in the deep vein it is called deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which usually occur in the leg veins. This condition can quickly lead to pulmonary embolism (PE), a blood clot in the lung, which is life threatening.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a non-invasive diagnostic test that measures the heart’s electrical activity or heartbeat. It is recorded using electrodes or sticky patches placed strategically over the chest and extremities. These electrodes pick up on the heart’s electrical activity to produce a graph of waveforms that shows your physician multiple cardiac cycles.

Using lasers to treat varicose veins is a simple, minimally-invasive outpatient procedure that can help you look and feel better. It uses heat from a specialized laser to close veins and allow blood to flow freely through other avenues. This procedure usually takes less than an hour to complete and patients can go home the same day. We recommend wearing or bringing loose-fitting clothing to wear after the procedure.

Varithena is the newest treatments offered at Advanced Heart and Vein Center for the treatment of varicose veins.
Our team is focused on treating patients using the most innovative and effective methods. Varithena is one of the most versatile vein treatments due to the nature of this gentle, injectable foam medication.

Limb preservation may be a necessary treatment plan for patients suffering from peripheral vascular disease (PVD). This condition causes a person’s blood flow to be compromised and can increase one’s risk for varicose veins and blood clots. In severe cases, the legs may be at risk for amputation. However, through limb preservation, we can help eliminate PVD to save the patient’s legs.

An atherectomy is a procedure that removes plaque from a blood vessel. The catheter used during the procedure is designed to collect the removed plaque in a chamber in the tip, which allows for safe removal of the plaque. This process can be repeated at the time the treatment is performed to remove a significant amount of disease from the artery, thus eliminating any blockages.

If you have a pacemaker or ICD, ongoing care doesn’t end at the implant. At Advanced Heart and Vein Center, we believe that it is important to maintain a relationship with your doctor or clinic for the life of your device and we can help you do so through remote device monitoring.

Electrical cardioversion is a medical procedure that restores a normal heart rhythm in patients with certain types of abnormal heartbeats (arrhythmias). Cardioversion is usually achieved by sending electric shocks to your heart through electrodes placed on your chest. It’s also possible to reach cardioversion with medications.

An implantable loop recorder is a type of heart-monitoring device that records your heart rhythm continuously for up to three years. It records the electrical signals of your heart and allows remote monitoring by way of a small device inserted just beneath the skin of the chest.

A device with a small balloon on its tip is then inserted through an artery in your leg or arm and threaded through the arteries until it reaches the narrowed area. The balloon is inflated to flatten the plaque against the wall of the artery, opening the artery and restoring blood flow. Then the balloon is deflated and removed from your body.

Advanced Heart and Vein Center was founded by a group of physicians who are passionate about providing a different and innovative model of cardiovascular care delivered through an independent private practice. Our team will work with you to better understand and treat conditions such as peripheral vascular disease We offer advanced non-surgical vein care.
