Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases that include chronic bronchitis and emphysema, often caused by heavy smoking or exposure to certain gases or fumes in the workplace. COPD can also include chronic asthma, which is a hypersensitivity of the air passages in the lungs. Bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma all have…
Learn MoreCoronary Artery Disease
Coronary artery disease is a buildup of plaque in the arteries that leads to narrowing of the blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. It is the leading cause of death in the United States for men and women, with more than 3 million cases being diagnosed annually.
Learn MoreHeart Attack
Every 40 seconds, someone in the United States suffers a heart attack. A heart attack is caused by a blood clot that blocks a coronary artery. The coronary arteries supply blood and oxygen to the heart. If the blood flow is blocked, the heart is deprived of oxygen and heart muscle dies. The medical term…
Learn MoreHeart Failure
Heart failure occurs when the heart can no longer pump oxygen-rich blood to the rest of the body efficiently. Heart failure is usually a chronic condition, but it may come on suddenly. The condition may affect only the right side or only the left side of the heart. Usually, both sides of the heart are…
Learn MoreHeart Valve Disease
Heart valve disease refers to conditions that prevent one or more of the valves in the heart from functioning properly. Left untreated, heart valve disease can reduce the quality of life and become life-threatening. In many cases, heart valves can be surgically repaired or replaced, restoring normal function and allowing a return to normal activities.…
Learn MorePeripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) occurs when arteries in the legs become narrowed or dogged with plaque (cholesterol) – referred to as atherosclerosis – reducing blood flow to the legs. PAD can lead to leg pain when walking (claudication), disability, and even amputation. Blocked leg arteries can be a red flag that other arteries, including those…

Examples of vascular diseases include: Peripheral artery disease Intestinal ischemic syndrome Renal artery disease Popliteal Entrapment Syndrome Raynaud’s Phenomenon Buerger’s Disease Carotid artery disease, dissection, or aneurysm Varicose veins Spider…
Learn MoreCarotid Stenting
In carotid stenting, a catheter is threaded through the arteries to the narrowed carotid artery in the neck. A stent is inserted into the vessel to serve as a scaffold that helps prevent the artery from narrowing again.
Learn MoreCarotid Endarterectomy
Carotid endarterectomy is a procedure to treat carotid artery disease, which occurs when fatty, waxy plaque deposits build up in one of the carotid arteries. This plaque buildup may restrict blood flow to the brain. During the endarterectomy, a Deborah® surgeon will open the carotid artery and removes the arterial plaques before closing and repairing the…
