Scope of care
Testing and Treatment for Artery, Vein, and Aortic Disease
The Vascular Diagnostic and Therapeutic Center at Heartology Cardiovascular Hospital treats blood vessel disease outside the heart, including peripheral artery disease, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, aortic aneurysm, carotid artery narrowing, and resistant hypertension. It is for you if you have leg pain when walking, leg swelling, slow-healing leg wounds, or a referral from your doctor for a vascular evaluation.
Peripheral Angioplasty and Stenting
Widening a narrowed leg or arm artery with a balloon through a catheter, with a stent placed when needed, to improve blood flow.
Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)
Placing a stent graft through a blood vessel in the groin to reinforce an enlarged aorta, as an alternative to open surgery when the anatomy is suitable.
Renal Denervation
A catheter-based procedure that targets the nerves around the kidney arteries. It is considered for some people with resistant hypertension after a doctor's evaluation.
Carotid Artery Disease Care
Assessment of narrowed neck arteries with ultrasound and imaging, followed by a discussion with your doctor about medication or interventional treatment.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Care
Evaluation of blood clots in the deep veins, anticoagulant therapy suited to your condition, and steps to help prevent pulmonary embolism.
Vascular Procedures for Complex Cases
Procedures such as thrombectomy, embolectomy, and vena cava filter placement for selected cases, guided by interventional imaging.
Center profile
About This Center
The Vascular Diagnostic and Therapeutic Center at Heartology Cardiovascular Hospital evaluates and treats blood vessel disease outside the heart. It serves people with risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or smoking who need their blood vessels checked, as well as people who already have symptoms such as leg pain when walking, leg swelling, slow-healing wounds, or an aortic aneurysm found during another test.

Conditions treated include peripheral artery disease, narrowing of the carotid and kidney arteries, aortic aneurysm, deep vein thrombosis, chronic venous insufficiency, and varicose veins. The first evaluation usually includes a physical exam, an ankle-brachial index test, and a duplex vascular ultrasound. When needed, your doctor may follow up with CT angiography or angiography to see where a vessel is narrowed, blocked, or enlarged, and how severely.
Your treatment plan is based on your test results. For complex cases, the plan is discussed by cardiologists together with the cardiovascular and thoracic surgery team and other related specialists. Options may include medication and risk factor control, catheter-based procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, endovascular aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR), thrombectomy, embolectomy, or vena cava filter placement, and open surgery. For some people with resistant hypertension, renal denervation may be considered after a thorough evaluation. Heartology Cardiovascular Hospital holds Paripurna accreditation from LAM-KPRS, an Indonesian hospital accreditation body.
Recovery depends on the type of treatment. Catheter-based procedures generally need a shorter hospital stay than open surgery, and your doctor will explain what to expect in your case. After treatment, you will have follow-up visits and repeat tests, such as a vascular ultrasound, to monitor blood flow. Controlling blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol, quitting smoking, and walking regularly help maintain the results in the long term.
Approach to care
What Sets Our Care Apart
Artery and Vein Testing in One Place
Duplex vascular ultrasound, the ankle-brachial index test, and CT angiography are done at the same hospital. Your doctor can assess the leg, neck, and kidney arteries, the aorta, and the deep veins without sending you to another facility. The results form the basis for discussing your treatment options.
Catheter-Based Treatment Options
For suitable conditions, narrowed or enlarged blood vessels can be treated through a catheter, for example with angioplasty, stenting, or EVAR. Your doctor weighs the vessel anatomy, your overall health, and the risks before recommending this approach instead of open surgery.
Coordination with Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery
When open surgery is a better fit, care is coordinated with the Heartology cardiovascular and thoracic surgery team. Existing test results are shared, so your evaluation does not need to start over.
Team Discussion for Complex Cases
Cases such as aortic aneurysm, severe leg ischemia, or resistant hypertension are discussed by cardiologists together with surgeons and other related specialists. The treatment plan is based on your test results and explained to you before any decision is made.
Follow-Up After Treatment
After a procedure, your doctor schedules follow-up visits and repeat tests, such as a vascular ultrasound, to monitor blood flow and the condition of a stent or graft. Managing blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and smoking is part of the long-term plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions about testing and treatment for blood vessel disease at Heartology.
When should I have my blood vessels checked at the Vascular Diagnostic and Therapeutic Center?
Consider an evaluation if you have pain or cramping in your calf when walking that eases with rest, a cold or discolored foot, a leg wound that heals slowly, swelling in one leg, or bothersome varicose veins. An evaluation is also advisable if a doctor has found an aortic aneurysm or if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or a history of smoking. Sudden leg swelling with shortness of breath or chest pain is an emergency; go to the nearest emergency department right away.
What tests are usually done at the first visit?
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms, health history, and medications, then check the pulses and skin of your legs. Common first tests are the ankle-brachial index, which compares blood pressure in your arms and ankles, and a duplex vascular ultrasound to look at blood flow. If needed, your doctor may recommend CT angiography or angiography. The choice of tests depends on your symptoms.
What should I bring to my consultation?
Bring your ID, a referral letter if you have one, and previous test results such as ultrasound, CT scan, angiography, or lab results, including the image files or CD. Also prepare a list of the medications you take, especially blood thinners, diabetes medication, and blood pressure medication. Notes on when your symptoms appear and what makes them worse help your doctor understand your condition. Wear clothing that makes it easy to examine your legs.
What treatment options are available for blood vessel disease?
Treatment depends on the type and severity of the disease. Many conditions start with medication, risk factor control, and regular walking exercise. If a narrowing or blockage is severe, your doctor may recommend angioplasty and stenting through a catheter. An aortic aneurysm may be treated with EVAR or open surgery, while deep vein thrombosis is generally treated with anticoagulant medication. Your doctor will explain the benefits and risks of each option before you decide.
How long is recovery after a vascular procedure?
Recovery time varies with the procedure and your condition. After a catheter-based procedure, people can generally return to light activity within a few days, as advised by their doctor, while open surgery takes longer. Your doctor will give instructions on caring for the puncture site or incision, the medications to take, and your follow-up schedule. Repeat tests such as a vascular ultrasound are done to monitor blood flow after the procedure.
