Vascular medicine focuses on conditions affecting the body’s blood vessels and lymphatic system, such as blood clots, vasculitis or poor circulation. While cardiology treats conditions of the heart, vascular medicine addresses circulation throughout the entire body. At Endeavor Health, our experts offer comprehensive, nonsurgical care for conditions affecting your arteries, veins and lymphatic system.

Conditions we treat

At Endeavor Health, we specialize in diagnosing and managing a wide array of vascular conditions, with a particular focus on venous thromboembolism (VTE), encompassing both deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). VTE represents the cornerstone of our proactive care and expertise.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE): Blood clot management demands comprehensive management of DVT (deep vein thrombosis) and PE (pulmonary embolism, or clots in the lung arteries), conditions that require specialized care to prevent life-threatening complications. Blood clot prevention is even more important in patients with cancer given the added risk of recurrence and bleeding.
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD): An underrecognized vascular condition affecting arterial walls.
Vasculitis: Inflammation of blood vessels that can impact multiple organs.
Perioperative anticoagulation: Expert management of anticoagulation in patients with complex coagulopathies, especially around surgical procedures.
Lymphatic and swelling disorders: Conditions causing swelling and other complications due to lymphatic system dysfunction.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD): A common circulatory condition where plaque buildup narrows the arteries and reduces blood flow to the limbs, most often the legs. This can lead to pain, mobility issues, and an increased risk of cardiovascular events.
Raynaud’s disease: A vascular disorder causing reduced blood flow to the fingers and toes in response to cold or stress, resulting in color changes, numbness and discomfort.

Our practice emphasizes personalized medicine in thrombosis risk assessment and management, tailoring care to individual patient profiles to optimize outcomes.
