TRA Endovascular provides an alternative to surgical methods to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions affecting women’s blood vessels and circulatory systems. We use the most recent advances in imaging and interventional technology to help women from diagnosis to treatment.
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Also called leiomyomas (lie-o-my-O-muhs) or myomas, uterine fibroids aren’t associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer. Many women will experience little to no symptoms, but for those that do, it can be debilitating and embarrassing.

Pelvic Venous Congestion Syndrome (PVCS), also known as Gonadal Vein Reflux, is a cause of chronic pain for many women. Chronic pelvic pain is pain that has been present in the lower abdomen for 6 months or more. PVCS is a painful condition often caused by the dilation of the ovarian and/or pelvic veins (similar to varicose veins but in the pelvis). PVCS can potentially lead to significant disability.

May-Thurner Syndrome is a condition in which the left iliac vein, which carries blood from the left leg, is compressed by the right iliac artery, leading to restricted blood flow and potential blood clot formation in the affected vein. The compression occurs in the pelvis, where the left iliac vein lies between the right iliac artery and the spine. May-Thurner Syndrome can cause pain, swelling, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a serious condition in which a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg.

Varicose veins are swollen, twisted veins that often appear blue or purple. These veins most often appear in the legs or pelvic area and are caused by weak or damaged valves in the veins. They can cause discomfort, pain, and cosmetic concerns.
Spider veins are smaller, red, purple and blue vessels that also twist and turn, much like a spider’s web or tree branch. They are visible through the skin, typically on the face or legs. Spider veins do not typically hurt though they may be uncomfortable.
