Center for Vascular Medicine

What Center for Vascular Medicine does

Center for Vascular Medicine (CVM) is a private, physician-owned medical practice specializing in the diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment of deep venous and arterial diseases of the pelvis and lower extremities. Founded by Dr. Sanjiv Lakhanpal, who has been practicing medicine for approximately 25 years, the practice is headquartered in Greenbelt, Maryland, and operates more than 21 clinic locations across Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and New Jersey. The clinical team comprises board-certified vascular specialists (including interventional cardiologists and vascular surgeons) supported by physician assistants, with treatment delivered in an office-based lab (OBL) setting that CVM has operated since 2011. CVM holds three-year Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC) accreditation in Vascular Testing for Peripheral Arterial Testing at multiple sites and operates as a HIPAA-covered entity.

The practice offers a comprehensive suite of diagnostic and interventional procedures, including intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) examination, CO2 angiography, embolization, venoplasty, venous stenting, venogram, angiogram, angioplasty, atherectomy, and arterial stent placement. It treats conditions such as Pelvic Congestion Syndrome, May-Thurner Syndrome, Deep Vein Thrombosis, Chronic Venous Insufficiency, Peripheral Arterial Disease, and Post-Thrombotic Syndrome. The technology stack is procedural and clinical rather than software-based; there is no proprietary AI, no app, and no public API. Distribution is through physical clinic locations, with patient acquisition driven by physician referrals (gynecologists, primary care), self-referrals, an SEO-optimized educational content and self-assessment website, YouTube videos, and community outreach.

Revenue is generated on a professional-services model from patient consultations, diagnostic testing, and vascular procedures, billed through insurance and patient payments. The practice accepts most major insurance providers and offers Care Credit financing; specific procedure pricing is not publicly disclosed. The customer base is granular and consumer-facing (individual patients rather than institutional accounts), and the practice self-describes as one of the largest providers of arterial and venous procedures in the United States. Ownership is founder/physician-controlled with no disclosed private equity, venture capital, or parent company involvement.
