Vascular Surgery

Vascular surgery is dedicated to the care of patients with disorders of the circulatory system. These disorders fall into two broad general disease processes known as atherosclerosis and thrombophlebitis, which affect the arterial and venous systems respectively.

The past decade has seen numerous diagnostic and surgical technological advances, including ultrasound enhancement, angioplasty, stenting devices, endoluminal bypasses and improved imaging techniques.

The vascular disease process involves multiple systems of the body. As such, the care of the vascular patient requires the combined efforts of the surgeon, radiologist and internist.
