The vascular system, sometimes called the circulatory system, is made up of blood vessels, veins and arteries that carry oxygen-rich blood throughout the body to tissues and organs. Vascular surgery addresses diseases of the vascular system using endovascular (small incisions) or surgical procedures.
Our highly trained vascular surgeons provide comprehensive care for vascular and venous disorders such as:
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm — an enlarged area in the lower part of the aorta that may be fatal if it ruptures
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm — a weakened area in the major blood vessel in the chest that sends blood to the body
Carotid Artery Disease — fatty deposits that cause blockages in the neck and arteries that may lead to stroke if left untreated
Peripheral Artery Disease — narrowing and hardening of the arteries that supply blood to the legs, hands and feet
Varicose Veins — Swollen and twisted veins that lie underneath the skin in the legs
Spider Veins — Smaller version of varicose veins, often resembling a spider web, that can appear in the legs or on the face
Deep Vein Thrombosis — a blood clot that forms in a vein located deep inside the body
