Treatment for Spider Veins
Sclerotherapy: The use of a very fine needle to inject a "sclerosant" into the spider vein. Very effective in eliminating the unsightly veins. Usually requires more than one treatment to get desired result.
Most common complication is "browning". This is staining of the skin at injection site.
Unfortunately around half of spider veins may return within 6 months after injection, even after successful treatment. Treatment may be repeated even after veins recur.
Insurance may cover this treatment but for the most part this will be an out of pocket expense.
We provide this treatment as a 30 min session where we may cover both lower extremities if time allows. It is safely performed in the office.

Carotid Artery Disease
The Carotid arteries provide blood flow to the brain. They can develop "plaque" build-up within their walls. This is an important cause for stroke.
Carotid Endarterectomy: This is a surgery where a Vascular Surgeon re-establishes blood flow to the artery by removing the plaque from the wall of the artery and in most cases then repairs the wall with a patch (See illustration).
This operation is done in the hospital and requires General Anesthesia.
In patients that are not candidates for surgery, Dr De Jesus also provides Carotid Artery Stenting
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
The Aorta is the main artery in the body. It originates at the root of the heart and courses thru your entire body to distribute blood to all your organs and tissues.
An Aneurysm is when the artery wall is damaged and begins to dilate. If it reaches a certain size there may be a risk for rupture.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms are an important cause of death in our aging population.
Endovascular & Open Aneurysm Repair: As a Vascular Surgeon Dr. De Jesus is an Expert at repairing these both by Endovascular (stent placement) and by open surgery.

Dialysis Fistulas
When a person's kidneys fail, they will usually end up needing dialysis.
To receive dialysis the individual will need either a catheter (usually placed at the base of the neck, or a fistula. The Fistula is by far the best and safest way to receive the treatment.
Arterial Venous Fistula (AV Fistula): This is a surgical connection between an artery and a vein. This will usually be created in the non dominan arm (in a right handed person, the left arm would be the preferred place to do the surgery). On occasion, the surgeon may use a "plastic" graft to do the surgery.

Treatment for Varicose vein disease
Endovenous Ablation: The use of a fine laser or RFA catheter to close off the diseased superficial vein. It improves symptoms caused by Varicose Vein disease almost instantly. Usually takes about 10-15 minutes to perform. Minimal discomfort. Most people can return to work within 24 hrs after the procedure.
The most serious common complication (extremely rare) is extension of the ablation into the deep venous system (DVT formation). This is exceedingly rare in the experts hands of a Vascular Surgeon.
