 Carotid Artery Disease   ·         Carotid artery disease is a blockage or narrowing in the arteries supplying the brain, and can lead to a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke ·         Carotid artery dissection begins as a tear in one layer of the artery wall. Blood leaks through this tear and spreads between the layers of the wall. ·         Carotid body tumors are growths within the nervous tissue around the carotid artery ·         Carotid artery aneurysm ·         Venous Disease   Veins are flexible, hollow tubes with flaps inside, called valves, when your muscles contract the valves open and blood moves through the veins. When your muscles relax, the valves close, keeping blood flowing in one direction through the veins.   If the valves inside your veins become damaged, the valves may not close completely. This allows blood to flow in both directions. When your muscles relax, the valves inside the damaged vein(s) will not be able to hold the blood. This can cause pooling of blood or swelling in the veins. The veins bulge and appear as ropes under the skin. The blood begins to move more slowly through the veins, it may stick to the sides of the vessel walls and blood clots can form.   Varicose veins are bulging, swollen, purple, ropy veins, seen just under your skin, caused by damaged valves within the veins. Spider veins are small red or purple bursts on your knees, calves, or thighs, caused by swollen capillaries (small blood vessels)
