Control your vascular health

Corewell Health delivers advanced diagnoses and treatment options for a range of vascular conditions, which are problems that affect arteries, veins, and smaller blood vessels. The first step is to know if you’re at risk. To assess your vascular health, we offer free screenings that are quick and painless.

Why choose Corewell Health

High quality images are the first step in detecting vascular conditions, so it's important to work with a system that is committed to high quality results. Corewell Health has over 25 vascular imaging sites recognized by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC), and the Peripheral Vascular Imaging Centers at Corewell Health's Beaumont Grosse Pointe Hospital, Blodgett Hospital, Butterworth Hospital, and William Beaumont University Hospital were recognized as Gold Status facilities in 2024-an achievement shared with only 120 sites across the country.

When you have been diagnosed, you can count on our specially trained, multi-disciplinary team to treat your disease, including comprehensive aortic and vein centers. For patients in need of expert care, we never stop innovating for better results. Whether in clinical trials and research studies or the latest vascular and endovascular procedures, our specialists focus on what matter most: your health.

Conditions we treat

Aortic disease

Occurs when the aorta, the body's main artery, develops problems like narrowing, blockages, or bulges (aneurysms) due to plaque or weak walls, affecting blood flow from the heart to the body.

Arterial occlusive disease

Condition when plaque clogs arteries, blocking blood flow to parts of the body.

Arteriovenous malformations (AVM)

Abnormal connections between arteries and veins where blood bypasses the capillaries and flows directly from the artery to the vein.

Carotid artery disease (stroke / transient ischemic attack [TIA])

Arteries in the neck that carry blood to the brain get narrow or blocked, raising the risk of stroke.

Critical limb ischemia

Blood flow to the legs or feet is severely reduced, causing tissue damage and possible limb loss.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)

A blood clot often formed in the legs, causing swelling, pain, and potential complications if it travels to the lungs.

Femoral and popliteal artery aneurysm

A bulge in the wall of the artery in your thigh (femoral) or behind the knee (popliteal) that creates a weak spot that can swell or burst if untreated.

May-Thurner syndrome

Also known as iliac vein compression syndrome or Cockett’s syndrome

The left iliac vein, which carries blood from the leg to the heart, is squeezed between the right iliac artery and the spine. This can lead to blood clots like deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Nutcracker syndrome

The left renal vein is compressed, leading to blood clots or blood in the urine.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)

The arteries that carry blood to the legs and feet become narrowed or blocked, reducing blood flow.

Pulmonary embolism (PE)

A blood clot in one of the pulmonary arteries in the lungs, blocking blood flow to the lungs. Most commonly caused when a blood clot in the leg (a deep vein thrombosis or DVT) travels through the bloodstream to the lung.

Thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS)

Nerves, veins, or arteries are compressed in the space between the collarbone and the top of the rib cage, causing numbness, pain, and weakness in the hand and arm.

Venous insufficiency (varicose veins)

Veins are not able to pump blood back to the heart, causing them to enlarge over time as blood pools in the blood vessels.

Venous obstruction

A vein gets blocked or narrowed, slowing or stopping blood from flowing back to the heart.

Venous obstruction

A vein gets blocked or narrowed, slowing or stopping blood from flowing back to the heart.

Venous thrombosis

A blood clot forms in a vein, blocking blood flow and potentially causing pain, swelling, or more serious problems.

Vertebral artery disease

Arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain get narrow or blocked, which can reduce blood flow and raise risk of stroke.

Visceral arterial disease

Arteries that supply the stomach, intestines, or liver get narrowed or blocked causing pain or digestion problems.
