Vascular disease is a group of conditions affecting blood vessels throughout your body including artery, vein and lymphatic vessels. You may have narrowed or bulging arteries, blood clots, narrowed vessels or inflammation. Some conditions cause mild, ongoing symptoms. Others require immediate treatment.

Lymphatic disease involves tissue and vessels that move a fluid called lymph throughout the body. Lymph is part of your immune system and serves other essential functions. A common condition we prevent and manage is lymphedema, which occurs when lymph builds up in your arms or legs.

Vascular disorders occur when something impacts the ability of blood or lymph to flow through your body’s vessels. There can be many potential causes.
