Vascular Disease

Banner Thunderbird provides premier diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease which includes conditions affecting the circulatory system such as peripheral artery disease.

One of the best-equipped and highly staffed heart care facilities in the Valley, Banner Thunderbird’s new Heart and Vascular Center treats and manages conditions such as: 

• Aneurysms
• Carotid artery disease
• Deep vein thrombosis
• Diabetic vascular problems

The Center features state-of-the-art technology and vascular experts who seek to diagnose and treat vascular problems in the same procedure whenever possible.

While peripheral vascular disease can often be treated through medication and lifestyle changes, traditional or minimally invasive surgery may be required. The latter can include endovascular procedures such as:

• Angioplasty and stenting
• Stent-grafting
• Thrombolysis
• Embolization

In addition to medical procedures and medications, Banner Health offers a wide range of programs to help you make the lifestyle changes to improve your vascular health:
