Our team provides advanced evaluation and minimally invasive treatment for a wide range of venous and circulatory disorders.
Iliac vein compression can contribute to chronic leg swelling, pain, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and long-term circulation problems.
A blood clot in the lungs can restrict blood flow and requires timely vascular evaluation and coordinated care.
Blood clots in deep veins can cause pain, swelling, and potentially serious complications when left untreated.
Poor vein function may cause blood pooling, heaviness, skin changes, fatigue, and recurring leg swelling.
Persistent lower-extremity discomfort and swelling may be connected to venous obstruction or another circulation disorder.
Enlarged or malfunctioning pelvic veins can cause chronic pelvic pain, pressure, and symptoms that are often difficult to trace.
Circulation and heart-rate changes when standing may cause dizziness, fatigue, rapid heartbeat, and brain fog.

Janel Moeller
“I would like to thank the medical staff at Illiana Medical Partners for a excellent experience. After having two kids I thought I would have to live with leg pain and swollen feet for the rest of my life. I dealt with it for four years. I had seen my primary care and obgyn they both didn't have an explanation other than, it's just getting older and having kids. After a visit with Dr. Tolitano he recommended a venogram. I had a iliac vein stent and balloon angioplasty. I already see a major improvement. I can't wait untill I am completely healed. Dr.Tolitano has the best patient coordinator and nursing team. I would highly recommend Illiana Medical Partners.”
