Our Services

We evaluate every patient with all treatment options in mind, thanks to our combination of two specialties: vascular surgery and interventional radiology.

With this wide range of expertise, you can trust that your care is in good hands.

Conditions We Treat

Many vascular concerns can be treated with minimally invasive procedures. Using catheter-based techniques, we are able to offer treatments for the following conditions. 

Vascular Disease

We diagnose and treat conditions related to the network of blood vessels, particularly affecting the peripheral, renal and carotid arteries.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

This condition is a bulge or swelling in the aorta, the main blood vessel that runs from the heart down through the chest and abdomen. Early detection is key to treatment.

Deep Vein Thrombosis

Sometimes a blood clot develops in a deep vein, usually in the legs. Treatment of this condition relies on medication and compression to prevent the clot from loosening and lodging somewhere life-threatening, specifically in the lungs.

Vascular Cancers

Vascular tumors form through the cells that make blood vessels or lymph vessels. They may be benign or malignant and can occur anywhere in the body, on the skin, in the tissues below the skin, or in an organ.

Uterine Fibroids

These noncancerous growths form in the uterus during a woman’s childbearing years. The cause of fibroids isn’t well understood, and some women experience symptoms while others do not.

Compression Fractures

Weak bones and osteoporosis are common effects of aging, leading to fractures in the spinal column. Often, surgery is needed to correct severe pain resulting from collapsed bones in the back.

Minimally Invasive Procedures

Using a combination of minimally invasive techniques, our expert doctors in vascular surgery and interventional radiology create comprehensive and advanced solutions for a wide variety of conditions. Below is a list of common vascular concerns and the minimally invasive procedures we can use to address them.

  • Stent
  • Angioplasty
  • Atherectomy

Aneurysms and Dissections

  • Endograft placement

Acute DVT

  • Thrombolysis
  • Thrombectomy

Fibroids

  • Embolization

Compression Fractures

  • Kyphoplasty
  • Vertebroplasty

Cancer Treatment

  • Radiofrequency ablation
  • Embolization

Varicoceles and Pelvic Congestion

  • Embolization

Dialysis or Infection Treatment

  • Venous port
  • Tunneled catheter placement
  • Catheter-based therapy for access maintenance

Varicose Veins and Spider Veins

  • Laser
  • Radiofrequency ablation
  • Sclerotherapy

Surgical Procedures

Some vascular problems are more complex than others. For the times when a minimally invasive approach will not be sufficient to treat a patient’s condition, our vascular surgeons are trained in advanced surgical techniques to provide the most effective treatment available. Surgeries performed often at our facilities include the following:

With the help of a natural or synthetic graft, a surgical bypass routes blood flow around an area of blockage caused by peripheral arterial disease.

In this procedure, a stent graft is placed inside of your abdominal aorta to help protect the aneurysm from rupturing. 

The carotid arteries are the main blood vessels that carry oxygen and blood to the brain. In carotid artery disease, these arteries become narrowed, and treatment includes surgically removing plaque that builds up inside the carotid artery.

A fistula is created when long-term hemodialysis is required. An arteriovenous (AV) graft is a connection between an artery and vein that is created by interposing graft material between them. 

Peripheral Arterial Disease

A condition in which the arteries that carry blood to the legs and feet become blocked from the build up of plaque.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm

A weak area in the aorta, the main blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the rest of the body.

Deep Vein Thrombosis

The formation of a blood clot in the deep leg vein that can cause permanent damage to the leg or a life-threatening pulmonary embolism.

Carotid Artery Disease

The narrowing of the blood vessels in the neck that carry blood from the heart to the brain, which can cause a stroke.
