Overview

Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital’s Vascular Center provides comprehensive care in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders affecting the circulatory system, including arteries and veins. Vascular disease affects millions of people. It is referred to as a “silent killer” because often the first symptom is a catastrophic event like a stroke or hemorrhage.

Common vascular diseases and conditions include:

  • Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
  • Aneurysm
  • Renal artery disease
  • Buerger’s disease
  • Peripheral venous disease
  • Varicose veins
  • Venous blood clots
  • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Pulmonary embolism
  • Chronic venous insufficiency

With the advancement of minimally invasive procedures such as angioplasty and graft placement, many significant vascular disease can be treated without major surgery. Conditions such as abdominal aortic aneurysm and severe arterial disease of the arms or legs can be treated by the introduction of a catheter into the arteries. The surgical site is very small and recovery time is dramatically reduced.
