    Vascular Surgery

    Healthy Blood Flow, Healthy Living
    That’s why we’re here.

    Vascular surgery is a specialty focused on diagnosing and treating conditions of the body's blood vessels (arteries and veins), and lymphatic circulation. At Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center, our vascular surgery team is dedicated to keeping your blood flowing smoothly so your body can function at its best.

    Blood vessels carry oxygen and nutrients to every part of your body, and when circulation is disrupted, it can affect your mobility, comfort, and overall health. Our team specializes in diagnosing, treating, and preventing a wide range of vascular conditions – from restricted arteries and aneurysms to vein disorders – using minimally invasive procedures and traditional open surgeries.

    Conditions Treated by Vascular Surgery

      Vascular surgeons at Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center specialize in treating a range of vascular and circulatory conditions, including:

      • Aortic Aneurysms: Balloon-like bulging of the aorta that may rupture without treatment. 
      • Carotid Artery Disease: Narrowing of neck arteries that can reduce brain blood flow and increase stroke risk. 
      • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Blood clot in a deep vein, most commonly in a leg, that can travel to the lungs. 
      • Dialysis Access: Creating and maintaining reliable access points for dialysis treatments.
      • Limb Ischemia: Severely reduced blood flow to a limb, leading to pain, wounds, or tissue loss. 
      • Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Blockage or narrowing of arteries that reduces blood flow to the limbs – often legs and feet – causing pain, slow healing, and difficulty walking. 
      • Varicose Veins and Venous Insufficiency: Damaged veins causing swelling, aching, and visible varicose veins in legs. 
       
       

      When Should I See a Vascular Surgeon

        You should consider seeing a vascular surgeon if you have symptoms or risk factors related to poor circulation or blood vessel problems, such as:

        • Cold, numb, or discolored toes or feet
        • History of blood clots (DVT) or risk for them
        • Non-healing wounds or ulcers, especially on feet or legs
        • Swelling, heaviness, or aching in your legs
        • Visible varicose veins or skin changes in your lower legs
         

        The goals of vascular surgery at Carolina Pines Regional Medical Center are simple: Improve circulation, relieve symptoms, prevent life-threatening complications, and help you get back to living your life fully.
