Struggling with high blood pressure that doesn't improve, even with medication? There’s a new option to consider: Renal Denervation.

This minimally invasive procedure targets the nerves around the kidneys that play a role in controlling blood pressure. By calming these overactive signals, renal denervation can help lower blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension.

- Catheter-based, minimally invasive
- Outpatient procedure
- Designed for patients whose blood pressure remains high despite medication

For those struggling to manage hypertension with medication, it may offer another path toward better blood pressure control and heart health. Learn more at https://www.lakelandvascular.com/services/high-blood-pressure-hypertension/

Carotid Artery Disease occurs when plaque builds up in the carotid arteries, major blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain. This buildup can reduce blood flow or cause clots, increasing the risk of stroke. Warning signs may include weakness, vision changes, or trouble speaking, though many people have no symptoms at all.

One treatment option is angioplasty, a minimally invasive procedure where a small balloon is used to open the narrowed artery, followed by placement of a stent to keep it open. Angioplasty can restore blood flow and help lower the risk of stroke without the need for open surgery.

Early detection and treatment can be life-saving. Learn more at https://www.lvioutpatientcenter.com/services/vascular-disease/

Uterine fibroid embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that treats fibroids by cutting off their blood supply, causing them to shrink and symptoms to improve.

Success rates are impressive:
- About 90% of patients experience significant relief from heavy bleeding and pelvic pain.
- Many see fibroid size reduced by 50% or more within a few months.
- Most patients can return to normal activities within a week.

UFE is a safe, effective alternative to surgery for women looking to manage fibroids without a hysterectomy. Visit our website to learn more: https://www.lakelandvascular.com/services/uterine-fibroids-pelvic-congestion/

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) affects millions, and many don't even know they have it.

PAD happens when narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to the limbs, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. Know the signs: leg pain while walking, numbness, or slow-healing wounds. Early detection saves lives.

Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) affects millions of men as they age, causing urinary symptoms like frequent trips to the bathroom, weak stream, or difficulty emptying the bladder. It’s a normal part of aging.

Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) is a minimally invasive treatment that targets the enlarged prostate to relieve symptoms without surgery.
- Minimally invasive
- Outpatient procedure
- Quick recovery, long-lasting relief

If BPH is affecting your quality of life, PAE may be a safe, effective option. Visit our website to learn more https://www.lakelandvascular.com/prostate-artery-embolization/

Thyroid nodules are common, and when they cause pressure, swallowing issues, or cosmetic concerns, treatment may help.

Thyroid Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive option that shrinks benign nodules without surgery, incisions, or general anesthesia. Most people return to normal activity quickly and maintain normal thyroid function.

Learn more about RFA by calling 863.577.0316

For patients with kidney failure who need dialysis, dialysis access is a lifeline. It’s the way your blood travels to and from the dialysis machine so it can be filtered and cleaned.

There are a few main types of access:
🩸 Fistula – Created by connecting an artery and vein, this is the gold standard for long-term dialysis.
🩸 Graft – A soft tube that connects an artery and a vein when veins aren't suitable for a fistula.
🩸 Renal catheter – A narrow tube placed in a large vein in the neck.

Maintaining healthy dialysis access is crucial. It ensures your treatments are safe and effective. Interventional radiologists play a key role in creating, maintaining, and restoring access when problems arise. Learn more at https://www.lakelandvascular.com/services/dialysis-access-maintenance/

Lakeland Vascular is proud to spotlight Dr. Elmasri, one of the directors of the CLOTS Conference, a premier two-day educational event focused on advancing care for patients with thromboembolic disease.

The CLOTS: Head To Toe conference brings together leading experts, multidisciplinary teams, and dedicated healthcare professionals for an in-depth experience designed to elevate clinical expertise and improve patient outcomes. Through collaboration, evidence-based discussions, and shared best practices, attendees gain meaningful insights they can apply directly in their clinical settings.

We’re excited to have Dr. Elmasri helping lead this important event and shaping conversations that move thromboembolic care forward.

We are honored to have enrolled our first patient into this important registry on October 13, 2025 — a milestone made possible through the collaboration and expertise of our dedicated team.

The XTRACT Registry is a prospective, multi-center, post-market study evaluating the clinical performance of the Rotarex™ Atherectomy System in treating patients with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD). This minimally invasive system is designed to effectively remove plaque and thrombus from peripheral arteries, offering a dual indication as both an atherectomy and thrombectomy device.

Through this national registry, BD Peripheral and leading physicians aim to gather valuable real-world data to help refine treatment strategies and improve outcomes for patients with PAD.

We're proud to contribute to advancing vascular care and to be part of research that supports innovation and improved patient outcomes.

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.
