CardioVascular Associates P.C. is one of the largest cardiology practices in the Southeast, providing heart and peripheral vascular care for over 46,000 patients a year. Over the last sixty-four years, CVA has gained extensive experience resulting in the development of a comprehensive vascular care program offering the full spectrum of prevention, noninvasive and invasive diagnostic modalities, and endovascular surgical procedures. This level of experience allows patients access to leading edge technologies and new drugs. Recognized nationally for their expertise, CVA endovascular specialists have trained physicians throughout the country in the techniques of non-surgical vascular interventions.

We comprehensively manage vascular disease with an emphasis on working with primary care physicians, together focusing on the prevention of strokes and heart attacks, events that are more likely to occur in these patients. We deligently attempt to control the risk factors that contribute to these diseases, thereby preventing problems before they occur. The adequate treatment of lipid disorders, anti-platelet therapies, smoking and tobacco cessation, diet and exercise are all part of the treatment protocols. This broad approach serves to improve patients' quality and possibly length of life.

Often, patients need revascularization procedures to improve blood flow to the brain, legs, arms, kidneys or other internal organs. Just as these procedures have been successful in the heart, we use similar techniques to restore blood flow to all other parts of the body. When large blood vessels are significantly enlarged, these aneurysms can usually be repaired non-surgically, requiring less recovery time and, generally, fewer complications. Working closely with our vascular surgery colleagues, open surgical procedures are sometimes recommended.

Some of the most common clinical conditions treated are: arterial blockage of the carotid arteries, arms, legs, kidneys and other internal organs, aneurysms of the aorta and peripheral arteries, varicose veins and other disorders of the venous system.
