Vascular and Endovascular Surgery: Caring for Your Blood Vessels

Your blood vessels — arteries and veins — are vital pathways that carry blood throughout your body, bringing oxygen and nutrients to organs and tissues. When these vessels become blocked, narrowed, or damaged, it can lead to serious health problems. That’s where our vascular and endovascular surgery services come in. We specialize in diagnosing and treating conditions affecting your blood vessels to help you stay healthy and active.

What We Treat

Our vascular surgeons treat a variety of blood vessel conditions, including:

• Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) — Narrowing of the arteries, usually in the legs, which can cause pain or cramping when walking.

• Aneurysms — A bulge or weak spot in a blood vessel that can become dangerous if untreated.

• Varicose Veins — Enlarged, twisted veins that can cause discomfort or swelling.

• Blood Clots — Including deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which can be serious if clots travel to the lungs.

• Carotid Artery Disease — Narrowing of arteries in the neck that supply blood to the brain, increasing stroke risk.

What Is Endovascular Surgery?

Endovascular surgery is a minimally invasive way to treat vascular problems. Instead of large incisions, surgeons use tiny instruments inserted through small cuts, guided by X-rays, to fix or open blood vessels. This often means less pain, shorter hospital stays, and quicker recovery.

Common Procedures

• Angioplasty and Stenting — Using a small balloon to open blocked arteries and placing a stent (a tiny mesh tube) to keep them open.

• Aneurysm Repair — Fixing weak spots in blood vessels either through open surgery or endovascular techniques.

• Varicose Vein Treatments — Using laser or radiofrequency energy to close damaged veins.

• Blood Clot Removal — Procedures to safely remove or dissolve clots in veins.
