What is Vascular & Endovascular Surgery?

Many conditions affect the complex highway of blood through the body, including blockages that can lead to: stroke, heart attack, kidney failure, or limb loss; and restricted blood return that can lead to varicose veins, leg swelling, or leg ulcers; and weakened walls that can lead to aneurysmal dilation or rupture.

Vascular and Endovascular surgery refers to interventions on and within arteries, veins, and lymphatics, including open surgical repair and minimal invasive therapy (Endovascular). This specialty deals with all types of vascular disease, including arterial occlusive disease, aneurysmal disease, and lymphatic and venous disorders. The podiatric section of our team takes care of patients with foot and ankle pathology. OUR GOAL is to provide patient-targeted therapy using the most appropriate approach that provides the best clinical care. We are also committed to advance our understanding of vascular disease using innovative techniques through research and multidisciplinary collaboration.
