Aneurysm

Most aneurysms are asymptomatic and not particularly dangerous; however, a ruptured aneurysm can be life-threatening. The physicians of ARA Health are highly trained in the most advanced techniques, able to repair aortic and arterial aneurysms to avoid risk of rupture.

Carotid Artery Disease

Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the most common form of heart disease in our country – and the #1 killer. CAD is caused by plaque buildup in the walls of the coronary arteries, and for many people, the first clue of CAD is a heart attack. The expert vascular surgeons of ARA Health are proud to offer surgical removal of plaque buildup to treat CAD.

Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease

Aortoiliac occlusive disease is a condition where there is narrowing of the aorta, or one of its major branches. The narrowing reduces the flow of blood to your lower body, particularly your legs and pelvic organs.

Peripheral Artery Disease

When the arteries that carry blood to the legs become narrowed or clogged with plaque, patients may develop Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). A relatively common circulatory condition, its symptoms often are mistaken for signs of normal aging. Fortunately, the vascular surgeons at ARA Health offer minimally invasive procedures to clear away accumulated plaque, correct narrowing vein walls, and ultimately improve blood flow.

Vein Services

While varicose and spider veins are widely thought of as cosmetic in nature, they often are indicative of more serious medical conditions. The Vein Specialists of Carolina Vascular is a team of board certified, fellowship-trained vascular/interventional radiologists who have helped thousands of western North Carolinians improve leg and vein health.
