An abdominal aortic aneurysm is a swell or bulging of the artery caused by the weakening of a wall of the aorta in the abdominal region. The bulge or “balloon” is filled with blood, and over time can burst under the stress of normal blood pressure, leading to internal bleeding, hemorrhaging, and extreme pain.

Aortic dissection is a separation or tear of the inner layer in the wall of the aortic artery.

Hyperlipidemia is a condition in which blood that has too many lipids (or fats), such as cholesterol and triglycerides.

Mesenteric Ischemia is the poor delivery and circulation of blood to gastrointestinal organs that over time results in damage.

A peripheral aneurysm is an enlargement or weakened artery wall in any other area than your aorta. It mostly affects the arteries in the legs or neck.

Pulmonary embolism is a blockage in an artery within the lungs. Usually, the blood clots causing pulmonary embolisms are created by deep vein thrombosis.  Blood clots deep in the veins of the lower legs and extremities that break free and travel to the lungs.

Renovascular conditions causes high blood pressure and kidney function impairment when one or both arteries to the kidney narrow, reducing blood and oxygen to the kidney.

A disruption of blood flow causes a stroke to the brain; the lack of oxygen and nutrients quickly results in brain cell damage. Strokes can be caused by blockages in the arteries to the brain due to clots or ruptures.
