Vascular Surgery

If a problem arises from the veins and arteries rather than the heart, vascular specialists from the Excela Health Heart, Lung & Vascular Institute work to get you back in circulation.

Our professionals utilize advanced diagnostic tests and focus on treating all diseases of the blood vessels, from blockages in your arteries and aneurysms to varicose veins and venous insufficiency using a variety of techniques and procedures (surgical, minimally invasive and therapies) for vascular conditions including but not limited to:

Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA)
Carotid artery disease
Dialysis access
Lower extremity arterial and diabetic-related wounds/ulcers
Peripheral artery disease
Renal artery stenosis
Varicose veins

Your surgeon will discuss with you treatment options that are suitable for your condition. These options may include traditional (open) surgery as well as minimally invasive techniques. Your care team will work to establish the optimal treatment for you.

Treatments may include:

Carotid surgery
