Resources

Our team specializes in a variety of conditions that, at first glance, don’t seem related. However, our expertise in interventional radiology makes us the ideal source for information on these medical issues. Here’s an overview of our resources:

Peripheral Arterial Disease

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a circulatory condition causing narrowed arteries and reduced blood flow to the limbs, especially the legs. This condition often arises from atherosclerosis, where fatty deposits build up on artery walls. Common symptoms of PAD include leg pain or cramping during physical activities, which usually subsides with rest. Other symptoms may include numbness or weakness in the legs, coldness in the lower leg or foot, sores that heal slowly, and a change in the color of the legs. Our succinct guide to peripheral arterial disease offers details about risk factors, treatments, and prevention strategies.

Atherectomy

Dr. Jean-Baptiste and his team have years of experience performing atherectomy procedures. This minimally invasive treatment removes plaque from obstructed arteries, restoring blood flow to affected areas. Atherectomy can relieve symptoms such as leg pain or chest discomfort and is associated with shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgical methods. Check out our atherectomy resources for further information on how the procedure works and how you can benefit from it.

Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are extremely common, with Johns Hopkins estimating that up to 77% of women will develop fibroids at some point. These noncancerous growths occur in the muscular wall of the uterus and may vary in size, shape, and location. While some are pea-sized, they can grow to the size of a melon in rare cases. Sometimes, uterine fibroids are symptomless. However, when symptoms do occur, they may include heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged periods, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, and complications during pregnancy. The team at Precision Vascular Kentucky can help you better understand fibroid symptoms and treatment approaches.

Joint Pain

Joint pain affects individuals of all ages. Whether you have a knee injury or an underlying condition, Precision Vascular Kentucky can help. If you’re living with constant knee pain, talk to our specialists about genicular artery embolization. This treatment targets specific areas in the knee and relieves pain in the long run. Say goodbye to uncomfortable symptoms like swelling, stiffness, and reduced range of motion! Our guide to genicular artery embolization will walk you through the non-invasive procedure and explain the key benefits.

Hemorrhoid Artery Embolization

Hemorrhoids are a painful condition that at least half of people will experience in their lifetimes. While you could opt for traditional treatments, Precision Vascular Kentucky offers an innovative approach to eliminating hemorrhoids. Hemorrhoid artery embolization blocks blood flood to affected veins and shrinks the hemorrhoids. We often recommend this method for patients with chronic pain, bleeding, and discomfort due to their condition.
