Pacific Vascular Institute (PVI) is Hawaii’s first outpatient interventional vascular center offering the most advanced, minimally invasive procedures. Our goal is to improve blood circulation and the quality of life for those suffering from peripheral vascular disease (PVD).
Our facility is conveniently located at the Aiea Shopping Center on the second floor. Upon parking, enter the Mini Mall. At the end of the walkway in the Mini Mall turn left and you will find our offices.
our mission
To reduce the rate of amputations in the state of Hawaii by 50% in 3 years
Hawaii has one of the highest rates of amputations in the country. Amputations don’t just affect the legs, but also severely impacts quality of life and mortality.
Amputation Facts:
- In the United States, there are approximately 100,000 non-traumatic lower extremity amputations performed for people with diabetes yearly — one every six minutes
- In the U.S., diabetes-related amputation costs are approximately $3 billion/year [$38,000/amputation procedure]
- After a major amputation, half of those patients will have their other limb amputated within two years
- The five-year mortality rate associated with diabetic lower extremity amputations is GREATER THAN all forms of cancer
How we will achieve our Mission:
- Increase awareness of peripheral vascular disease in the medical community and the general population
- Emphasize the importance of early detection through non-invasive screening and monitoring
- Emphasize the importance of foot health and wound prevention
- Expand access to vascular experts across the Hawaiian islands utilizing Telehealth and other technologies
- To support local healthcare organizations in cardiovascular disease education, prevention and management
- Develop a coalition of healthcare experts working together to provide the latest technologies procedures and approaches in the management of peripheral vascular disease
- Improve overall health and activity in those with PVD and associated
conditions
