1-833-LEG-CRAMPAs we get older, it’s common to face degenerative diseases such as peripheral artery disease (PAD) and osteoarthritis of the knee, which can significantly impact the quality of life. If you’re looking for experts who specialize in minimally invasive treatments for these conditions, AVA Vascular provides innovative solutions that help you maintain optimal health and continue enjoying the lifestyle you love.
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) occurs when fatty plaques build up in the arteries, leading to narrowed passages and reduced blood flow, predominantly affecting the legs. Symptoms such as intense leg pain, cramping, non-healing sores, persistent infections, and even the risk of amputation may arise if untreated. Our team specializes in outpatient procedures that restore circulation, accelerate healing, reduce pain, and prevent severe complications.
Osteoarthritis of the knee is traditionally managed with injections, physical therapy, and medications, but these treatments often fail to provide relief and may not prevent knee replacement surgery. An innovative interventional radiology treatment, genicular artery embolization (GAE), offers an alternative by blocking blood flow to the knee lining, which helps to alleviate pain and restore mobility without surgery.
Led by Dr. Nik Patel, a renowned interventional radiologist with nearly 20 years of experience, the team at AVA Vascular stands out for its depth of specialized knowledge and innovative medical practices. Dr. Patel has performed over 3,000 PAD procedures and has been instrumental in advancing interventional radiology practices across the country.
AVA Vascular specializes in PAD, diabetic foot wound healing, and amputation prevention. Our facility is equipped with the latest technology and expertise to treat even the smallest vessels to expedite healing and prevent amputation. We offer non-traditional surgical alternatives which often result in shorter recovery times and fewer complications for various conditions including arthritis of the knee, benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and hemorrhoids.
Located in Vista, a city known for its high quality of life and strong community values, maintaining health is a priority for its residents. AVA Vascular aligns with these community values by bringing awareness to PAD and providing alternative, minimally invasive treatment options that suit the needs of our patients and their primary care physicians. With its proximity to multiple Scripps Memorial Hospital locations, Vista provides an excellent landscape for healthcare to its almost 100,000 residents.
Dr. Patel’s approach combines state-of-the-art technology with minimally invasive techniques, performed in a same-day outpatient setting, focusing on patient comfort and quick recovery. AVA Vascular offers several treatment options, which bypass the long recovery periods typically associated with general anesthesia.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as non-healing wounds from PAD or are struggling with knee pain from osteoarthritis, AVA Vascular is here to assist.
