Dr. Jeffery Shay and Dr. Nathaniel Berg, experienced interventional radiologists, will be holding a clinic at the Commonwealth Health Center today, Feb. 14, 2019.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
Screening for peripheral arterial disease, or PAD, atheroslerotic peripheral vascular disease, or ASPVD, as well as ankle-brachial index and toe-brachial index (ABI and TBI) will be provided.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\u201cWe strongly encourage providers\u00a0to refer patients with claudication, poorly healing wounds\/ulcerations, rest pain and lower extremity discoloration,\u201d said a Guam Radiology Consultants statement. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge providers to send any patients who have undergone an amputation in the past.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\u201cLikewise, patients who are already scheduled for amputation can also benefit before or after surgery by increasing flow to the amputation site, allowing for improved healing and prevention of future amputations.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
\u201cAn appropriate work-up and endovascular therapy leads to a decrease in repeat amputation. We want to help as many patients as possible.<\/p>\n
Berg is available to answer any questions about the Guam Radiology Consultants, the services offered, and the importance of PAD and ASPVD screening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Joining Shay and Berg is Dr. Peachy Mae T. Pia\u00f1a, who will be conducting the clinic for women’s health, specifically breast consults and procedures.\u00a0<\/p>\n
