Patients searching for CCSVI Treatment/The Liberation Procedurecan now turn to Vascular Access Centers.  The procedure is currently being offered at multiple VAC locations, nationwide.    Patients who suffer from CCSVI experience venous stenoses, which impedes the flow of blood that drains the central nervous system from the brain and spine back to the heart.  CCSVI treatment, also known as The Liberation Procedure, helps to reestablish normal blood flow by locating the blockage and using a small balloon or stent to restore the size of the compromised vein. There has been much attention and research aimed at identifying the possible connection between CCSVI and Multiple Sclerosis (MS).   Some researchers theorize that this particular condition possibly hastens the development of MS or may be a factor leading to the worsening of MS symptoms.  Research is still ongoing.   If you're interested in receiving more information about CCSVI treatment, please send an email to liberation@vascularcenters.com, or call us at 877-VAC-4USA (use prompt #6).  Our specialized team of physicians will work with you and consider your individual case in order to determine whether CCSVI treatment is right for you. ...read more

Uterine fibroids, which are very common non-cancerous (benign) growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. They can range in size from very tiny (a quarter of an inch) to larger than a cantaloupe.  Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors of the female genital tract. You might hear them referred to as "fibroids" or by several other names, including leiomyoma, leiomyomata, myoma and fibromyoma. Fibroid tumors of the uterus are very common, but for most women, they either do not cause symptoms or cause only minor symptoms. Determining the symptoms:  IsUterine Fibroid Embolizationright for you? Most fibroids don't cause symptoms—only 10 to 20 percent of women who have fibroids require treatment.

Thank you to everyone who participated with us at the National Kidney Foundation Trenton Walk on Sunday, May 23rd! Taking part in the Trenton walk was a fun day for all who participated. Patients, family, friends, businesses and even pets had the opportunity to come together to support the millions of Americans with chronic kidney diseases. Vascular Access Centers made the largest corporate donation for this event, and in addition to the money we donated on the corporate level, our VAC New Jersey team raised an additional $2,218! That's certainly something to be proud of! This money (and all money raised by the kidney walks) will be used by the National Kidney Foundation to provide free screenings and to fund education programs in order to help current and future kidney patients all across the country.
