Better Care, Faster Results: Why Collaborative Vascular Care Works

Better Care, Faster Results: Why Collaborative Vascular Care Works

By an Interventional Radiologist, MD — Southern California Vascular (Azura Long Beach Surgery Center, Bellflower, serving Long Beach & Los Angeles County)

When vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and interventional cardiologists work side-by-side—supported by onsite vascular imaging (e.g., duplex ultrasound when appropriate) and direct access to arteriogram services—the patient experience changes. Diagnosis happens quicker, procedures are better matched to anatomy and goals, and follow-up is coordinated instead of fragmented. The result: better care, faster results—often with same-day or next-day care and Saturday hours at our Bellflower surgery center.

What “collaborative” means at our Long Beach–area vascular surgery center

At our integrated vascular surgery center in Bellflower, we see patients from Long Beach and across Los Angeles County. One team manages the full pathway—from evaluation to procedure to surveillance—so you’re not bouncing between offices and waiting weeks for the next step. Our onsite access to Consultations & Diagnostics (including Arteriogram) and a shared clinical workflow compress delays and simplify authorizations, scheduling, and results review.

Five ways a team model speeds the right care

  1. One visit, clear plan

    We combine focused vascular evaluation with appropriate noninvasive testing and, when needed, arteriogram planning—so you leave knowing whether you need risk-factor optimization, supervised exercise, medical therapy, or revascularization. That reduces “diagnostic drift” and repeat ER visits.

  2. The therapy fits the anatomy

    Because vascular surgery and interventional radiology/cardiology are in the same conversation, your plan is tailored—not siloed. For focal disease or high surgical risk, endovascular options such as angioplasty, stent procedures, or thrombectomy can restore flow with minimal downtime. For the right candidate, surgical bypass may offer greater durability. We also provide hybrid solutions when inflow/outflow needs optimization.

  3. Less friction, more access

    We’re open six days a week, including Saturdays, and frequently accommodate same-day/next-day visits for urgent vascular needs (for example, dialysis access management problems that threaten treatment). That convenience is built into our operations—not an exception.

  4. Closed-loop follow-up

    The same clinicians who treat you also review imaging, adjust medications, and coordinate wound/footwear plans. That continuity is crucial for PAD Treatment (claudication to limb salvage), Varicose Vein Management (e.g., Radiofrequency Ablation, Sclerotherapy, Varithena, MOCA/ClariVein, Phlebectomy), and post-procedure surveillance of stenosis and restenosis.

  5. Seamless pre-op cardiac coordination

    Many endovascular/surgical patients need Cardiac Clearance. Our interventional cardiology partners streamline testing and clearance so vascular procedures aren’t held up by avoidable bottlenecks—part of our Peripheral & Cardiac Clearance Program in Bellflower.

What we treat & the services we offer

  • Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Treatment — evaluation, medical optimization, supervised exercise guidance, and revascularization when indicated. Service area: Long Beach, Bellflower, Los Angeles County.  Learn more.
  • Dialysis Access Management — urgent troubleshooting of AV fistula/AV graft stenosis or thrombosis (thrombectomy, angioplasty, stent procedures) to keep dialysis on schedule. We also perform Fistula Creation, Peritoneal Dialysis (PD) Catheter placement, and Central Venous Catheter (CVC) Removal. Same-day/next-day access available for many cases.
  • Varicose Vein ManagementRadiofrequency Ablation (RFA), Sclerotherapy, Varithena, MOCA, and Phlebectomy for symptomatic venous insufficiency.
  • Consultations & DiagnosticsArteriogram and coordinated vascular imaging to map disease and plan therapy efficiently.
