At AV研究所, our specialists are board certified in vascular medicine, cardiovascular disease, and interventional cardiology. Our specialists have received extensive training, including a fellowship as well as additional specialization in complex vascular and endovascular procedures and are experts in diagnosing and treating abnormalities of the vascular/circulation system, including (PAD) and (CAD).
Vascular disease encompasses disorders of the body’s blood vessels that interfere with the normal flow of blood. The two of the main types of vascular disease are aneurysmal vascular disease and obstructive vascular disease. In aneurysmal vascular disease, the wall of a weakened blood vessel balloons out leading to the formation of blood clots, especially in the legs, or even ruptures. In obstructive vascular disease, the accumulation of fatty plaque in the walls of arteries () disrupts of the normal flow of blood through blood vessels leading to the increased risk for stroke and heart attack.
When atherosclerosis blocks the coronary arteries, which carry blood to the heart, it is known as . When the narrowing affects the carotid arteries, which carry blood to the brain, it is known as . A significant number of patients with coronary artery disease may also suffer from - the narrowing of arteries that carry blood to other parts of the body, such as the kidneys, the legs, or the arms.

Vascular imaging is a non-invasive test that evaluates blood vessels to determine if blood is flowing throughout your body in a healthy way. To accurately diagnose abnormalities in the vascular system and help our specialists determine the best treatment approach for your optimal health and well-being, our specialists use the most advanced, contemporary noninvasive tests available. These tests use blood pressure cuffs, similar to those used to measure arm blood pressure, and ultrasound technology for arteries and veins, and can be conveniently performed during a regular office visit at the same location.
Our state-of-the-art vascular laboratory performs over 1,800 vascular studies annually and offers the full spectrum of non-invasive diagnostic modalities for the detection of vascular disease. Our laboratory is also accredited by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission for Vascular Testing, which means our lab meets the highest standards of quality patient care and monitoring.
Our vascular imaging laboratory offers:
Our service also provides CT angiography (CTA) and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) to ensure the most accurate diagnosis possible.

At AV研究所 our specialists offer a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to evaluating and caring for patients with vascular disease, including the use of advanced, minimally invasive endovascular treatment options.
Our goal is to create an individualized approach to diagnose and treat vascular diseases, improve your quality of life and prevent future vascular complications. All our vascular specialists are board certified in cardiology and will diagnose and treat associated cardiac conditions if necessary.
Our team can help diagnose, treat and manage conditions to prioritize comfort and lifelong well-being.
Our team treats:
Your treatment is personalized to help you achieve your best possible health and well-being. Your treatment may include:
Medical Therapy: Medical therapy is an integral part of treatment for all patients with peripheral arterial disease. Medications are used to target leg or arm discomfort, as well as treat risk factors - , and Improvements in lifestyle are crucial for preventing future vascular complications. We help patients develop an exercise plan to help walk longer and faster without pain, quit smoking with our guidance and education, and make additional lifestyle changes -including diet and weight loss as needed.
Lifestyle Changes: Improvements in lifestyle are crucial for preventing future vascular complications. We help patients develop an exercise plan to help walk longer and faster without pain, quit smoking with our guidance and education, and make additional lifestyle changes -including diet and weight loss as needed.
Minimally Invasive Endovascular Treatments: Our experienced interventional cardiologists specialize in performing minimally invasive procedures. These are performed through a small opening in the wrist or groin (not open-heart surgery), resulting in a shorter recovery period, same day discharge and fewer complications. Clogged arteries can be treated with balloon angioplasty, lithotripsy (use of shock waves to break down calcium), placement of stents, or atherectomy (plaque excision from the artery).

If you are already an established patient, you may also request an appointment online using . We will make every effort to contact you within 24 hours.
Our staff is here to help coordinate your care. They will provide you with information on our physicians, their areas of expertise and help arrange for your visit and other testing when appropriate.
Often, imaging studies and vascular and cardiac testing will require a referral from your physician and, in some cases, pre-authorization from your insurance company. Our patient coordinators are skilled in this process and will assist you every step of the way. To schedule an appointment for vascular imaging, please call (646) 962-4733.
