Dr. Shams explains what a patient can expect if they need a procedure with American Endovascular.
When I started my training, most treatments for Peripheral Vascular Disease required bypass surgery. This is when a blood vessel is closed. In order to treat it, we have to create a new blood vessel channel to bypass the area of the blockage.
