At Center for Vein Restoration, we offer a state-of-the-art diagnostic facility known as a vascular lab. At our lab, we can screen patients for a wide range of potential problems within the vascular system. Through non-invasive examinations, we can determine a patient’s risk for serious problems like stroke and pulmonary embolism. A vascular lab is an important tool for screening patients for serious conditions while the condition is still in the early stage and easy to treat.
