Vascular and Endovascular Surgery
The Vascular and Endovascular Surgery department is dedicated to providing expert care for patients with vascular conditions affecting the arteries, veins, and lymphatic system.
Our team of board-certified vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, and specialized healthcare professionals offers advanced surgical and minimally invasive treatments designed to restore blood flow, prevent complications, and improve quality of life.
We are committed to delivering personalized, patient-centered care using the latest techniques and technologies in vascular medicine.
Comprehensive Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Services
Our Vascular and Endovascular Surgery department offers a wide range of services to diagnose, treat, and manage vascular conditions:
• Aneurysm Repair:
Expert care for patients with aortic aneurysms (AAA) and other aneurysms, including thoracic aortic aneurysms.
We offer both open surgical repair and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR), a minimally invasive technique that uses stent grafts to reinforce the weakened area of the artery.
• Carotid Artery Surgery:
Specialized treatment for carotid artery disease, a leading cause of stroke.
We provide carotid endarterectomy (CEA) to remove plaque buildup and restore blood flow to the brain, as well as carotid artery stenting (CAS) for patients who are high-risk candidates for surgery.
• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Treatment:
Comprehensive care for PAD, which causes narrowed arteries and reduced blood flow to the limbs.
Our treatment options include angioplasty, stenting, atherectomy, and bypass surgery to restore circulation and relieve symptoms.
• Varicose Vein Treatment:
Advanced treatment for varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency, including endovenous laser therapy (EVLT), sclerotherapy, and vein stripping.
Our minimally invasive procedures are designed to improve vein function and relieve symptoms such as pain, swelling, and leg fatigue.
• Dialysis Access Surgery:
Specialized surgical care for patients requiring dialysis, including the creation of arteriovenous (AV) fistulas, grafts, and catheter placements.
Our team ensures that patients have reliable, long-term access for dialysis treatments.
• Thoracic Outlet Syndrome (TOS) Treatment:
Diagnosis and surgical treatment for TOS, a condition caused by compression of blood vessels or nerves in the thoracic outlet.
We offer decompression surgery to relieve symptoms such as arm pain, numbness, and swelling.
• Limb Salvage and Revascularization:
Comprehensive care for patients at risk of limb loss due to severe PAD, diabetes, or other vascular conditions.
We provide revascularization procedures, including bypass surgery and angioplasty, to restore blood flow and preserve limb function.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Management:
Advanced treatment for DVT and PE, including catheter-directed thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, and placement of inferior vena cava (IVC) filters to prevent clots from reaching the lungs.
• Vascular Malformations Treatment:
Specialized care for patients with congenital or acquired vascular malformations, including arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
Our team offers a range of treatment options, including embolization and surgical resection, to manage these complex conditions.
