Endovascular Procedures and Vascular Surgery
We are pioneers in the field of minimally invasive treatments for vascular diseases.
Our physicians have an international reputation for their extraordinary care and innovative approaches to the treatment of carotid artery disease, peripheral artery disease and aortic aneurysms.
Our team of interventional cardiologists, endovascular surgeons and vascular surgeons work collaboratively to ensure you receive the best treatment for your condition whether it’s a minimally invasive endovascular procedure or open surgery.
Endovascular Procedures
Endovascular procedures include:
- Aortic aneurysm stenting and repair
- Carotid stenting
- Peripheral artery stenting and angioplasty
- Renal artery stenting
Restoring Blood Flow With Stents
An interventional cardiologist who specializes in vascular disorders uses sophisticated imaging to guide a catheter through a tiny incision in the groin to the diseased artery in the leg, stomach or neck and then inserts a stent to hold the artery open and
restore blood flow. Many of our stents are now drug-coated, which slowly release medication into the bloodstream and help prevent a reoccurrence.
For you, this means less pain, a lower likelihood of complications, and a shorter hospital stay and recovery time.
Open Surgery
In some cases, due to your anatomy or the complexity of your condition, you may require open surgery. While it is more invasive and requires a longer recovery, your physician may opt for open surgery so you can have a more successful outcome.
Some open procedures include:
- Carotid endarterectomy (surgical removal of plaque in the carotid artery)
- Complex aortic aneurysm surgery
- Leg bypass surgery for peripheral artery disease
- Varicose vein removal
