Dr. Shaidah Manshadi provides expert diagnosis and treatment for a wide spectrum of vascular conditions, including:
Arterial Occlusive and Stenotic Diseases
Dr. Manshadi treats disorders of the arteries causing reduced blood circulation due to plaque buildup or other forms of obstruction.
- Mesenteric Ischemia (Acute or Chronic): Chronic mesenteric ischemia often presents with 'intestinal angina' and weight loss.
- Renal Artery Stenosis: Narrowing of the arteries that supply blood to the kidneys, potentially causing high blood pressure (renovascular hypertension) or kidney dysfunction.
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) / Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD): Narrowing of the arteries primarily supplying the legs and feet, leading to claudication (pain on exertion), rest pain, or non-healing sores.
Aortic and Other Arterial Aneurysmal Diseases
Dr. Manshadi treats management focuses on monitoring smaller aneurysms and intervening to repair larger or symptomatic ones to prevent catastrophic bleeding.
- Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA): Management involves surveillance and repair (open or TEVAR) based on size and risk factors.
- Aortic Dissection: A medical emergency often presenting with severe, tearing chest or back pain.
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA): A localized enlargement of the abdominal aorta, which can rupture if it grows too large, leading to life-threatening internal bleeding.
This list is not exhaustive. For a comprehensive evaluation of your vascular health, a consultation with Dr. Shaidah Manshadi is necessary.
- Non-Invasive Vascular Laboratory Interpretation (e.g., Duplex Ultrasound): Correlation of non-invasive imaging with clinical symptoms to establish vascular diagnoses.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Management - Select Interventions: Diagnosis and initiation of anticoagulation for DVT and PE.
- Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Venous Ulcer Care: Compression therapy, wound care, and interventions to improve venous outflow.
- Renal Artery Stenosis Treatment: Interventions to treat narrowing of the arteries supplying the kidneys, which can cause hypertension or kidney dysfunction.
- Spider Vein Treatment (Sclerotherapy): Minimally invasive procedure to improve the appearance of leg veins.
- Pre-operative Evaluation for Vascular Surgery: Assessing patient suitability and risk factors prior to major vascular surgical or endovascular procedures.
Note: This list provides an overview. Specific procedures are determined after thorough consultation with Dr. Manshadi.

- What is the typical recovery after vascular surgery or an endovascular procedure by Dr. Manshadi?
- The recovery period after a vascular intervention with Dr. Manshadi depends heavily on whether it's an open surgery or an endovascular (minimally invasive) procedure. Endovascular treatments usually mean a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to normal activities. Open surgeries, such as an open aortic aneurysm repair, are more extensive and require a longer convalescence. Dr. Manshadi will discuss your specific expected recovery timeline.
- Does Dr. Manshadi create or manage access for kidney dialysis?
- Yes, creating and maintaining vascular access for hemodialysis is a key component of Vascular Surgery. She is skilled in procedures such as creating arteriovenous (AV) fistulas and placing AV grafts, which are essential for patients with kidney failure requiring long-term dialysis. She also manages complications related to dialysis access, such as blockages or infections.
- When should I be referred to a Vascular Surgeon like Dr. Manshadi?
- You might be referred if you experience symptoms such as leg pain or cramping with exercise that resolves with rest (claudication), coldness or numbness in your limbs, visible varicose veins causing discomfort or skin changes, or if imaging studies reveal an aneurysm or significant arterial blockage. Any concerns related to circulation or dialysis access should be evaluated by a vascular specialist.
- What does a Vascular Surgeon like Dr. Manshadi specialize in?
- Dr. Manshadi is a Vascular Surgeon, a physician with expertise in diseases of the circulatory system outside of the heart. This includes managing arterial blockages (such as peripheral artery disease or carotid artery disease), aneurysms, varicose veins, DVT, and dialysis access issues. She employs medical therapies, catheter-based interventions, and open surgical techniques to restore and optimize blood flow, prevent complications, and improve patient quality of life.
- What are some common conditions treated by Dr. Manshadi?
- She manages conditions such as peripheral artery disease, aneurysms of the aorta or other arteries, varicose veins, deep vein thrombosis, and renal or carotid artery stenosis. Her goal is to provide tailored treatment plans aimed at restoring vascular health and preventing serious complications.
- What is the difference between endovascular and open surgery, and does Dr. Manshadi perform both?
- Open vascular surgery involves larger incisions to access and repair blood vessels directly. Endovascular procedures are minimally invasive, using catheters and wires inserted through small punctures to treat arterial or venous problems from within the vessel. Dr. Manshadi is proficient in both approaches and determines the most appropriate technique based on individual patient factors, disease location, and severity, always prioritizing safety and efficacy.
