Blockages in blood flow circulation may be studied in the Heart Institute’s Non-invasive Vascular Peripheral Laboratory, a special facility that serves both inpatients and outpatients of St. Luke’s Medical Center.

The laboratory gives access to the most sophisticated non-invasive cerebrovascular, peripheral and abdominal vascular procedures, assisting physicians in making accurate diagnosis of venous or arterial circulatory conditions.

Free of the risks and discomforts of invasive procedures, these tests can reveal the severity of some cardiovascular problems and the extent of treatment required.

The tests available at the laboratory include:
  • Carotid/Vertebral Duplex Scan
  • Transcranial Doppler Study
  • Arterial Duplex Scan (Upper and Lower Extremities)
  • Venous Duplex Scan (Upper and Lower Extremities)
  • Duplex Scan of:
    • Renal Arteries
    • Renal Allograft
    • Abdominal Aorta
    • Hemangioma
    • Peripheral Bypass Graft Surveillance Duplex
    • Hemodialysis Access Graft
  • Ankle Brachial Index
  • Saphenous Vein Mapping
  • Penile Pressure
  • Penile Duplex Scan
  • Transcranial Doppler Monitoring for Vasospasm
  • Endothelial Function Test
  • Arterial Doppler with:
    • Cold Immersion Test
    • Thoracic Outlet Maneuvers
  • Vertebro-Basilar Doppler
  • Venous Compression Test
