CENTER FOR VENOUS AND PERIPHERAL INTERVENTION

At The Synvesta Vascular Care Center for Venous and Peripheral Intervention, we are proud to offer a dedicated, highly skilled surgical team led by Dr. Federico Yanquez, a board-certified vascular surgeon with extensive experience in both arterial and venous interventions. With a deep commitment to patient-centered care, our team brings together decades of collective expertise in vascular diagnostics, endovascular therapy, and surgical management.

We understand that each patient’s condition is unique, which is why we take a customized approach to surgical planning. Our team is able to carefully assess your clinical needs and determine the optimal setting for your procedure—whether at our state-of-the-art outpatient Synvesta Vascular Center, Tucson Medical Center, or St. Joseph’s Hospital (Carondelet). This allows us to tailor the complexity and intensity of care to your medical needs, while ensuring the highest standards of safety, comfort, and outcomes.

We specialize in a wide range of procedures, including:

• Outpatient peripheral arterial interventions
   
• Advanced venous procedures (such as ablation and phlebectomy)
   
• Fistulograms and dialysis access interventions
   
• Limb salvage procedures
   
• Diagnostic angiograms and revascularization therapies
   

At Synvesta, we place your goals and well-being at the center of our practice. Whether you require minimally invasive outpatient care or hospital-based complex vascular surgery, our surgical team is equipped to deliver the highest quality vascular care, seamlessly and efficiently. the staff and volunteers on your team.

At Synvesta Vascular Care Center for Venous and Peripheral Interventions, we are committed to delivering exceptional, patient-tailored vascular care using the most advanced minimally invasive endovascular techniques available today.

Our center specializes in the treatment of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) and Aorto-Iliac occlusive disease, offering comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic strategies designed to restore blood flow, relieve symptoms, and preserve limb function. We also provide expert care in the maintenance of dialysis access, including fistulograms, angioplasty, and access revisions to ensure optimal performance of arteriovenous fistulas and grafts.

Our team, led by Dr. Federico Yanquez, utilizes a case-by-case approach to select the most appropriate intervention based on the individual anatomy, disease complexity, and patient-specific factors. Procedures are performed using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment, including:

• Intravascular Ultrasonography (IVUS) for real-time vessel assessment and precision therapy
   
• Balloon Angioplasty to restore patency in narrowed vessels
   
• Stenting for durable vascular support in occlusive or stenotic lesions
   
• Directional, laser and rotational Atherectomy to debulk and remove complex plaque from critical arteries
   

Whether addressing inflow disease in the aorto-iliac system, complex multilevel PAD, or ensuring long-term dialysis access viability, our center offers cutting-edge, image-guided vascular procedures with a focus on safety, efficacy, and long-term success.

With a philosophy centered on individualized care, our goal at Synvesta is to provide outstanding endovascular surgery that not only treats the disease but enhances the overall quality of life for every patient we serve.

At Synvesta Vascular Care Center fpr Venous and Peripheral Interventions, we offer a full spectrum of personalized venous care for patients experiencing varicose veins, chronic venous insufficiency, reticular and spider veins, iliac vein compression syndrome (May-Thurner Syndrome), as well as lymphedema and lipedema. Our team is committed to delivering targeted, evidence-based interventions—from conservative treatment to advanced endovascular therapies—designed around each patient’s unique needs and goals.

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including duplex ultrasound and functional vascular testing, to guide a personalized plan of care. For many, this includes conservative therapy such as compression, elevation, skin preservation, and lifestyle modification. For those with progressive symptoms or disease-related complications, we offer a robust suite of interventional procedures, including:

• Radiofrequency Venous Ablation (ClosureFast™) for saphenous vein reflux
   
• Sclerotherapy for spider veins and cosmetic reticular veins
   
• Microphlebectomy for localized varicosities
   
• Non-Thermal Non-Tumescent (NTNT) therapy, such as VenaSeal™ and Clarivein™, for patients requiring alternatives to heat-based procedures
   
• Evaluation and treatment for Iliac Vein Compression Syndrome (May-Thurner) with intravascular imaging and stenting when appropriate
   

For patients with lymphedema, we offer comprehensive diagnostic assessments, facilitate insurance-covered access to lymphedema pumps, and provide guidance on compression garment fitting. Patients with lipedema benefit from our multidisciplinary network of preferred specialists, including referrals for surgical consultation, lymph-sparing procedures, nutrition therapy, and physical rehabilitation.

At Synvesta, we believe venous disease is not one-size-fits-all. Whether you’re seeking cosmetic improvement, relief from heaviness, swelling, or skin changes, or managing advanced lymphatic or venous pathology, our team will develop a tailored, stepwise plan to optimize your vascular health and long-term quality of life.
