Ryan Armstrong, M.D.

Yes. Dr. Ryan Armstrong is accepting new patients at Texas Endovascular's clinics in The Woodlands and Sugar Land, TX. He treats a broad range of vascular conditions and performs minimally invasive embolization procedures for conditions including uterine fibroids, internal hemorrhoids, knee osteoarthritis and pelvic venous disorders.

You can request an appointment online or call (281) 690-5082 to schedule a consultation.

Dr. Armstrong specializes in minimally invasive, image-guided treatment across vascular disease and embolization. His areas of expertise include:

• Varicose veins: radiofrequency ablation (RFA)
• Spider veins: sclerotherapy
• Peripheral artery disease (PAD): image-guided treatment to improve blood flow and walking symptoms
• Pelvic congestion syndrome: targeted embolization procedures
• Fibroids: Uterine fibroid embolization (UFE)
• Internal hemorrhoids: Hemorrhoid artery embolization (HAE)
• Knee osteoarthritis: genicular artery embolization (GAE)

An interventional radiologist is a physician who specializes in minimally invasive, image-guided procedures. Instead of making a traditional surgical incision, an interventional radiologist uses ultrasound, X-ray and other live imaging to guide small instruments through a tiny access point to diagnose or treat a condition.

For vein disease, this can mean treating problematic veins without traditional vein stripping. Many vein procedures can be performed under local anesthetic on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day. Dr. Armstrong has more than 16 years of experience performing image-guided procedures.

Embolization is a minimally invasive procedure that uses image guidance to deliver tiny particles or other materials through a small catheter to intentionally reduce or block abnormal blood flow to a targeted area.

Dr. Armstrong has extensive experience using embolization to treat a range of conditions, including uterine fibroids, internal hemorrhoids, knee osteoarthritis and pelvic venous disorders.

Because embolization is targeted and performed through a small access point, it can provide a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgery for appropriate patients.

Yes. Dr. Armstrong performs genicular artery embolization (GAE), a minimally invasive, image-guided treatment for certain patients with knee osteoarthritis. GAE targets abnormal blood flow associated with inflammation around the knee and may help reduce pain for appropriate patients.

A consultation can help determine whether GAE is an appropriate option based on your symptoms, imaging, medical history and previous treatments.

Yes. Dr. Armstrong offers minimally invasive, image-guided treatment for peripheral artery disease. PAD occurs when arteries that carry blood to the legs become narrowed or blocked. Symptoms can include cramping or aching in the legs during walking that improves with rest, as well as more advanced circulation problems.

Dr. Armstrong evaluates the severity and location of the disease and discusses appropriate treatment options based on each patient's condition.

Your first visit is about understanding what is actually causing your symptoms and what options may be available.

Dr. Armstrong starts by listening to your history, symptoms and how they affect your daily life. When appropriate, he performs an examination and imaging to better understand the underlying problem. He then explains what he sees and walks you through the appropriate treatment options, including their benefits, risks and alternatives.

The goal is not simply to recommend a procedure. It is to help you make a confident, informed decision about your care.

Many of Dr. Armstrong's minimally invasive, image-guided procedures are performed on an outpatient basis in the clinic using local anesthetic. Most patients return home the same day, without a hospital stay or general anesthesia.

Recovery and activity restrictions vary depending on the procedure. Dr. Armstrong and his team will explain what to expect before and after treatment.

Yes. Dr. Armstrong's practice extends beyond traditional vein and artery care. He performs targeted embolization procedures for uterine fibroids, internal hemorrhoids, knee OA and other chronic joint conditions.

This breadth of embolization expertise allows him to offer minimally invasive treatment options across a range of conditions, often providing an alternative to more invasive procedures for appropriate patients.

Dr. Armstrong sees patients at two Texas Endovascular clinics: The Woodlands, at 8850 Six Pines Drive, Suite 280, The Woodlands, TX 77380; and Sugar Land, at 7619 Branford Place, Suite 230, Sugar Land, TX 77479.

The two locations serve patients throughout The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Tomball, Sugar Land, Missouri City, Richmond, Stafford, Bellaire and the surrounding Houston area.
