Visceral Aneurysms
A visceral artery aneurysm is ballooning of a section of an arterial vessel, which becomes a risk for rupture and bleeding that can be fatal. Catheter-based embolization or stent-graft placement by an interventional radiologist are two major treatment options.
Mesenteric Ischemia
Mesenteric ischemia occurs when one or more of the mesenteric arteries become obstructed. As a result of the obstruction, your intestines do not receive an adequate amount of oxygen.
Hypertension/Renal Artery Stenosis
Renal arterial stenosis can result in loss of kidney function and hypertension. This can be treated by a stent procedure.

Leg ischemia is a lack of blood flow that endangers all or part of the leg that can cause pain, wound or gangrene of the foot. This can be treated by minimally invasive options to prevent amputation.
