Peripheral Vascular Procedures in Flower Mound

Peripheral Vascular Procedures in Flower Mound

Peripheral vascular disease affects arteries and veins outside the heart, most commonly in the legs, arms, kidneys, and lungs. At Heart & Vascular Specialists DFW, we provide minimally invasive peripheral vascular procedures to restore blood flow, relieve symptoms, and reduce the risk of serious complications.

Our vascular specialists use advanced imaging and catheter-based techniques to deliver precise, effective care with shorter recovery times.

Peripheral Vascular Interventions We Provide

Arterial Interventions

Arterial disease can reduce blood flow to the limbs and cause pain, wounds, or tissue damage. We offer advanced arterial procedures, including:

  • Angioplasty – balloon expansion to open narrowed arteries
  • Stenting – placement of a mesh stent to keep arteries open
  • Atherectomy – removal of hardened plaque from arteries
  • Laser therapy – targeted plaque modification to restore blood flow

These procedures are commonly used to treat peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Venous Interventions

Venous disease can lead to dangerous blood clots and long-term complications. Our venous procedures include:

  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) thrombectomy – removal of blood clots from deep veins
  • Pulmonary embolism (PE) thrombectomy – removal of clots from the pulmonary arteries

These interventions are often life-saving and help reduce long-term damage to veins and lungs.

Renal Denervation for Resistant Hypertension

Renal denervation is an advanced catheter-based procedure used for patients with resistant high blood pressure that does not respond to multiple medications. The procedure targets overactive nerves in the renal arteries, helping lower blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular risk.

Conditions Treated with Peripheral Vascular Procedures

These procedures may be recommended for:

  • Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
  • Critical limb ischemia
  • Non-healing leg or foot wounds
  • Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
  • Pulmonary embolism (PE)
  • Chronic venous disease
  • Resistant hypertension
  • Poor circulation causing pain or swelling

What to Expect

Peripheral vascular procedures are typically performed using catheter-based techniques:

  • Local anesthesia with mild sedation
  • Small incision, often in the groin or wrist
  • Imaging guidance for precision
  • Short recovery time compared to open surgery

Many patients return home the same day or after brief observation.
