Here’s what most doctors don't tell you 👇
Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a non-surgical procedure that can shrink fibroids, relieve symptoms, and keep your uterus intact!

What most people don't know:
🔹 UFE treats all fibroids at once—even deep ones surgeons may miss
🔹 It has up to a 90% success rate for reducing heavy bleeding and pain
🔹 Your fibroids don't have to be “huge” to qualify
🔹 You can still get pregnant after UFE (talk to your doctor)
🔹 Most people return to normal life in under a week—no hospital stay

UFE is done through a tiny pinhole—no stitches, no removal, no hormone disruption.
It’s time more women knew their options.

PNS is a breakthrough, minimally invasive treatment that uses a tiny device to target the nerves causing your pain—at the source.

Whether it’s back pain, shoulder pain, post-surgical pain, or nerve damage, PNS can help reduce discomfort and improve your quality of life—without opioids, without major surgery.

Here’s why patients are choosing PNS:
✔️ Minimally invasive
✔️ Reversible and adjustable
✔️ Little to no downtime
✔️ Targeted pain relief, not a band-aid

If you've tried medications, injections, or even surgery without lasting relief, this could be the solution you've been waiting for.

Yes they can, and it can be a powerful treatment option.

At Lakeland Vascular Institute, our interventional radiologists use a minimally invasive technique called embolization to treat certain tumors by cutting off their blood supply. This starves the tumor of nutrients, causing it to shrink or stop growing.

In some cases, we combine embolization with chemotherapy or radiation, delivering treatment directly to the tumor—minimizing side effects to the rest of your body.

✨ It's a great option for patients who aren't candidates for surgery—or want to avoid it.

Knee pain caused by osteoarthritis is very prevalent, affecting around 30 million Americans. It's one of the most common causes of knee pain in adults.

Genicular artery embolization (G*E) is a new, minimally invasive procedure meant to “fill the gap” between medication and total knee replacement surgery. G*E works by blocking the abnormal blood vessels in the knee that cause chronic inflammation. Using a tiny catheter, we inject small particles to reduce blood flow to these areas, easing pain and swelling without any incisions.

Did you know there's a minimally invasive treatment for enlarged prostate (BPH) that doesn’t require incisions or general anesthesia?

Prostate Artery Embolization (PAE) is a non-surgical, outpatient procedure that can relieve urinary symptoms and improve quality of life, all with fewer risks and a quicker recovery than traditional surgery.

There are no incisions involved, so no stitches, less pain, and a lower risk of complications. The procedure carries a lower risk of sexual side effects compared to traditional surgical options. Most patients can return to their normal activities within just a few days.

In fact, colon and re**al cancers are some of the most common sources of liver tumors.

While surgery offers the best chance for a cure, many liver tumors can’t be removed due to their size, location, or number.

At Lakeland Vascular Institute, we offer non-surgical, targeted treatments that attack tumors from the inside—without harming the rest of your body. These advanced procedures use heat, cold, radiation, or chemotherapy delivered directly to the tumor through the blood vessels.

✨ If you've been told surgery isn't an option, you may still have hope.

📞 Call us at (863) 577-0316 to schedule a consultation and explore your options.

Hypertension (high blood pressure) is a common condition that affects the body's arteries. Often called the “silent killer,” high blood pressure can creep up without symptoms.

Common causes include:
➡️ Too much salt
➡️ Lack of exercise
➡️ Being overweight
➡️ Genetics
➡️ Kidney or thyroid issues

The good news is that there is a minimally invasive procedure to control high blood pressure called renal denervation (RDN). Learn about the procedure and schedule a consult: https://www.lakelandvascular.com/services/high-blood-pressure-hypertension/

Did you know that up to 80% of women will experience uterine fibroids in their lifetime? Nearly half of them face symptoms that impact their quality of life, including severe pain and anemia. Historically, hysterectomy has been the go-to solution—but it comes with significant risks, including increased chances of cardiovascular disease, depression, and anxiety, especially for younger women.

According to new research from Mayo Clinic, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, minimally invasive alternatives offer effective relief while preserving the uterus. These include:
🔹 Medical therapies
🔹 Hormone-releasing IUDs
🔹 Radiofrequency ablation
🔹 Focused ultrasound ablation
🔹 Uterine artery embolization

Why does this matter?
💡 Women recover faster and resume their lives more quickly with less invasive options.
💡 Keeping the uterus and ovaries provides essential health benefits.
💡 Earlier diagnosis and treatment can reduce health disparities, particularly among Black women who are disproportionately affected by severe fibroids.

This is a critical step forward in women's health, empowering patients with more choices and better outcomes. See the full article here: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-researchers-recommend-alternatives-to-hysterectomy-for-uterine-fibroids-according-to-study/

Polk County has a 36% higher rate of diabetes-related amputations than the Florida state average—with 56.6 amputations per 100,000 people, compared to 39.3 statewide. While numbers are down in other parts of Florida, our community is facing a growing crisis.

But amputation doesn’t have to be your only option.

If you’ve been told you need an amputation due to poor blood flow, diabetes, or PAD, you may still have time to save your limb. Our minimally invasive, outpatient treatments can restore circulation to your legs and feet—often helping patients avoid unnecessary surgery.

💡 Why it matters: Lower limb amputation nearly doubles your risk of dying after surgery. Early intervention can save your leg—and your life.

🏥 No hospital stay. No long recovery. Just fast expert care.

🕐 We can evaluate you within 24 hours.

PAD, or peripheral artery disease, is a narrowing of the inside of the peripheral arteries that carry blood away from the heart to other parts of the body. It is caused primarily by the buildup of fatty plaque in the arteries.

PAD affects about 10-12 million U.S. adults older than 40.

About LVI

The Lakeland Vascular Institute (LVI) was founded nearly a decade ago to meet the growing needs of patients and their doctors in our community. Our facilities utilize the latest technology to diagnose and treat disease, chronic pain and other conditions with greater accuracy, less invasively and—in many cases—less expensively than available before.

LVI is a subsidiary of Radiology and Imaging Specialists, a local community-based radiology group in Lakeland. By working together, we provide a multi-disciplinary approach to the diagnosis and treatment of our patients. From peripheral vascular disease, cancer, and patients on dialysis, to the treatment of compression fractures and uterine fibroids, the Institute is designed to make the process of diagnosis and treatment an easier process for our patients to receive the medical attention they need.

Our accredited facilities are staffed with experienced and dedicated radiologists. These doctors are available 24-hours a day to provide interventional radiology services, give quick and precise film interpretations and also to answer any questions from our patients or referring physicians.
