Welcome to Get Healthy Veins! Our mission is to educate patients and the medical community about venous disease, a condition affecting millions worldwide.
A proud Ohio native, I bring over a decade of experience from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where I served as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Radiology & Surgery and was the Founder and Director of the nationally recognized DVT and Complex Venous Disease Program. At 360 Vascular Institute, we deliver advanced, minimally invasive vascular care for conditions such as:
• Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)
• Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI)
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
• Pelvic Venous Disorders
• Vascular Compression Syndromes
Our goal is simple: prevent amputations, restore mobility, and provide world-class care in a patient-centered outpatient setting. Now accepting patients in Ohio | 🌐 Learn more: www.360vascular.com

I often meet patients who have spent months at a wound care center — and their ulcer still isn’t healing.
Most of the time, it’s not because of the wound itself, but because of circulation problems that haven’t been identified or treated. Healing takes teamwork: podiatrists, wound care clinicians, and vascular specialists working together toward the same goal.
In my latest article, I talk about what can go wrong when that connection is missing and how we can do better for our patients.
Why leg ulcers don’t heal and what to do about it — learn how vein and artery problems can keep wounds from closing and when to see a vascular specialist.

Last night was a special evening cheering on the Columbus Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena! 🏒 Thanks to a lucky raffle win, I had 2 tickets to the Diamond Cellar Club, and it made for a memorable night out with my sweetheart (the other Dr. Sudheendra).
A special thank you to OhioHealth for providing the tickets and giving our community such a fun experience. It’s moments like these that remind us to celebrate life’s little victories! 💙
From all of us at 360 Vascular Institute, we hope you find time this week to enjoy the moments that make you smile, on and off the ice! 🩺✨

💡 How the Physician-Patient Partnership Drives Better Vascular Outcomes
I see patients from around the globe every day at 360 Vascular Institute, and what I’ve learned is that the most important part of care isn’t just treatment — it’s partnership. Whether someone is coming to me for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), vein disease, chronic pelvic pain, fibroids, or DVT, working closely with each patient, providing guidance, support, and encouragement, is what leads to the best outcomes.
In my latest blog post, “Under Pressure: How Weight Affects Your Pelvis and Legs,” I discuss how excess weight and sedentary habits can impact vascular and pelvic health — and how small, consistent lifestyle changes, combined with a strong physician-patient partnership, can make a meaningful difference in circulation, comfort, and overall well-being.
In good health,
Dr. Sudi

The Best Procedure Is Sometimes No Procedure At All
A few months ago, we saw a patient with PAD (poor circulation in both legs) who had been told that bypass surgery was his only option. No one had discussed medication, endovascular options, or even quitting smoking.
We took a different approach — focusing on education, empowerment, and conservative therapy. He started cilostazol (a medication that causes the arteries to dilate to improve blood flow), began a walking program, and worked hard to cut back from a pack a day to just five ci******es daily.
Now, he’s walking pain-free and motivated to quit completely. No surgery. No procedure. Just progress through commitment and the right plan.
We’re realistic. He may still need an intervention in the future, but only when he’s ready and after maximizing conservative therapy.
At 360 Vascular Institute, we believe great vascular care starts with patient-centered education and knowing when not to operate… and when to do so responsibly.

Teaching has always been more than a role for me — it’s been a calling.
For over a decade, I had the privilege of training countless residents and fellows at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. That experience shaped not only the physicians I worked with, but also the physician I’ve become.
Even now, I continue to teach Penn Medicine residents through virtual lectures while building something new here in Dublin, OH — my own practice, 360 Vascular Institute.
What’s been most rewarding lately is mentoring the next generation of doctors through a new partnership with the Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. These medical students are stepping into the clinic with fresh eyes, eager to learn about vascular disease and the future of minimally invasive care. But more importantly, they’re discovering the power of listening, connection, and trust which is the foundation of every strong physician-patient relationship.
Education doesn’t stop at graduation. And it doesn’t belong only in academic halls. Often, the most impactful lessons happen in the exam room, during a procedure, or while simply taking the time to explain something that truly matters.
This is how we shape the future of medicine.

🚨 PAD and CVI: The Overlap That’s Costing Patients Their Legs
Most people — and even many vascular specialists—don’t realize that arterial and venous disease often occur together. I've seen it every day in my career, and it’s the reason I coined the term VAM Disease (Venous and Arterial Mixed Disease).
The problem? Venous disease (CVI) gets ignored. It's not flashy. It’s often misunderstood. But it causes real harm—leg swelling, wounds that won’t heal, and pain that’s written off as “just aging.”
At 360 Vascular Institute, we take a truly comprehensive approach to vascular care:
🔎 We look for both PAD and CVI — because we treat both
🩻 We use advanced diagnostics to uncover what others miss
💉 We offer outpatient, image-guided treatments that change lives
This week, I had the chance to explain VAM Disease on NBC4's Daytime Columbus. I hope it starts a bigger conversation in vascular medicine.

🎉 MEET DORIS — TURNING 100 AND STILL INSPIRING US ALL!
This remarkable woman beside me is Doris. At 99 years young, she’s preparing to celebrate her 100th birthday later this month. I had the privilege of seeing her here at 360 Vascular Institute in Dublin, Ohio.
Doris is the perfect example of someone who embraces life with gratitude, positivity, and unwavering strength. Despite facing peripheral vascular disease and a recent pulmonary embolism, she hasn’t let anything slow her down. On supplemental oxygen, she still walks a couple of miles every day, keeping her body active and her mind sharp.
What truly amazes me is Doris’s independence and determination. She puts on her own compression stockings every single day. At 99 years old! To all my patients and friends who say, “they’re too hard to put on” -- Doris is living proof that you CAN do it with patience and persistence. 💪
Doris embodies the spirit of:
💙 Gratefulness for life’s blessings — especially a sharp mind.
💙 Going with the flow and seeing the positive in every moment.
💙 Commitment to vascular health and staying active.
She has invited me to celebrate her 100th birthday. Please join me in wishing Doris a very happy birthday! Let’s fill this post with warm wishes and love from near and far. 🌍🎂

Wrapping up Revenue Cycle Integrity Week with the unstoppable 360 Vascular Dream Team! 💥
Huge shoutout to Jennifer, our fearless Revenue Cycle Management Queen, and Misty, our Billing Ninja — the behind-the-scenes warriors making sure our patients get the vascular care they need and deserve. These two spend hours on hold with insurance companies, only to get hung up on, given the runaround, or told our patients aren’t covered.
But they don’t give up — because they believe in the work we do and the life-changing care we provide to patients across the globe. Their grit and dedication are unmatched.
Also missing from this photo but always part of the magic: Priscilla, our incredible patient care coordinator. Your compassion and coordination make such a difference every day!
So proud to work alongside this team. They fight hard — not just for revenue, but for people.

About to board a flight to New Orleans to speak at New Cardiovascular Horizons - NCVH, and I was reminded by a colleague of an important message that I wanted to pass on:
Don’t forget your compression stockings!
We can’t escape death, taxes — or gravity. Venous blood is constantly fighting to flow up toward the heart, while gravity pulls it down. When vein valves weaken or fail (thanks to genetics, weight, pregnancy, or prolonged sitting/standing), chronic venous disease sets in — affecting up to 90% of people over a lifetime.
Left untreated, venous disease increases the risk of DVT (blood clots) — especially during long flights. So if you're traveling, or even on your feet all day, those 20-30 mmHg compression stockings aren’t just a good idea — they’re essential.
Support your veins. Prevent DVT. Prioritize vascular health.
And yes...I do practice what I preach and wear stockings every day!
