Minimally invasive heart procedures
Whenever possible, we correct vascular disease through minimally invasive vascular procedures — which usually means less pain and a quicker recovery.
Peripheral Vascular Disease procedures
Sharp HealthCare provides the following surgical and minimally invasive treatment options.
Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR): a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce the risk of stroke during the insertion of the stent
Peripheral stent: a small wire mesh tube placed in the artery to help open the artery to improve blood flow and decrease the chance of the artery narrowing again
Rehabilitation program
Our Peripheral Vascular Disease Rehabilitation Program can significantly reduce pain symptoms, improve circulation, decrease hospitalizations and improve lifestyle through exercise and lifestyle modification for both postsurgical and nonsurgical patients.
The rehabilitation program is for patients who have symptoms of intermittent leg pain, also known as claudication, while walking and performing other weight-bearing activities. The program caters to the unique needs of patients with PVD and is designed to improve circulation, reduce pain and prevent further disease progression.
