More about our services
Diseases of the vascular system are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, laser procedures and surgical reconstruction. Medical therapy often includes lifestyle changes and some medications. Minimally invasive catheter procedures include balloon angioplasty and stent placement. Laser therapy is often used for venous diseases. Vascular reconstruction is offered for more advanced levels of diseases.
MaineHealth Surgical Care Rockport offers a wide range of services to evaluate arterial and venous disease, including:
- Carotid artery duplex exams
- Peripheral arterial exams
- Venous imaging
These labs can be performed as screening or diagnostic exams, and may be ordered by your primary care provider.
Vascular Surgery
Vascular and endovascular surgeries are treatments for conditions of the blood vessels and lymphatic system, also known as vascular diseases. Our doctors and surgeons provide advanced surgical treatments, including bypass surgery and endovascular therapy. Vascular bypass surgery reroutes the blood supply around a blocked artery. Endovascular surgeries are less invasive procedures for repairing blood vessel problems.
