TREATMENTS
Vein Care
The Vascular Disease Foundation estimates that at least 20 – 25 million people in the U.S. have varicose veins — a condition in which blood flow through the leg’s veins is impaired — causing swelling, skin discoloration and ulcers, pain, cramping and weakness. At the Phoenix Heart Center, our health care team has extensive experience in effectively evaluating and treating varicose veins (chronic venous insufficiency or venous reflux disease).
TREATMENTS
Radial First
Radial First is a cardiac catheterization procedure performed through the patient’s radial artery, located on the wrist. St. Luke’s Medical Center is the first hospital and one of only a few hospitals in the country to utilize the Radial First approach as the preferred method for all cardiac catheterization procedures.
The radial artery is located close to the surface of the skin resulting in less trauma to the body during insertion. Because the radial artery is smaller and located in the wrist, it responds quickly to simple pressure. This technique is proven to be safer and more comfortable for patients and has better long-term results than traditional methods. In addition, using the Radial First approach enables most patients to immediately get out of bed and move around following the procedures, which provides them great comfort and a faster recovery period. The physicians at the Phoenix Heart Center utilize this technique.
