Imaging procedures, including MRI and CT, can identify dangerous irregularities called vascular malformations in arteries, veins or lymph vessels.
Endovascular neurosurgery is less invasive than more traditional surgical techniques.
Peripheral vascular disease (PVD) is when blood vessels not located near the heart or brain narrow, inhibiting blood flow and causing pain.
