CARMICHAEL, CA (MPG) - If you are experiencing symptoms like leg or feet pain, cramping, discoloration or bulging veins, you might benefit from a special visit to the new Vascular Institute of Carmichael. A Grand Opening Screening Event focusing on the lower extremities will be held free of charge on Wednesday, March 3rd from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm.

Pam Wirsing, Carmichael Front Office Coordinator, says she is very glad “to bring excellent patient care and… experience to Carmichael as part of the Vascular Institute team.”

The Phoenix, Arizona-based Vascular Institute specializes in Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) which consists of conditions produced by major plaque buildup in the body’s arteries and veins. If left untreated PADs can create blood blockages leading to heart attack, cerebral stroke or limb amputation.

“Many of those who suffer with conditions such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension or have a history of smoking may greatly benefit from our services,” said Jennifer Valcazar, Sales Account Manager.

Sacramento Office Manager Michelle Guerrero says that thanks to today’s advanced technologies, the team at the Vascular Institute is bringing hope to patients at risk or suffering these conditions. Registered Vascular Technician (RVT) Alex Rodriguez will be utilizing methods such as ultrasound to sense potential blockages which can then lead to minimally invasive procedures to clear away plaque and restore proper blood flow.

Valcazar said that surgery used to be necessary to clear blood passages but now the Vascular Institute can implement minimally invasive procedures which may take 1 hour of your time and allow you to walk away the same day.

Treatment options include Non-Invasive Diagnostic Screening, Atherectomy, Angioplasty, Stent Placement, Sclerotherapy or Radio-frequency Ablation.

“Our highly skilled physicians perform… minimally invasive procedures, [as a] key component to saving limbs and lives," Valcazar said.
