The Vascular System:

When it comes to treatment of vascular conditions, there is good news. Many vascular conditions are quite manageable, if you see a physician early. Remember the best treatment for vascular problems is prevention.

• Open and endovascular aneurysm repair
• Minimally invasive endovascular recanalization
• Bypass surgery (aortic, upper and lower extremities)
• Carotid endarterectomy
• Lumbar disk disease and anterior spinal exposure
• Hemodialysis access creation 
• Endovenous radiofrequency and foam ablation for venous insufficiency
• Phlebectomy for varicose veins
• Esthetic vein treatment with laser and sclerotherapy
• Vein stripping and ligation
• Open and endovascular venous thrombectomy for DVT
• IVC filter management
• Temporal artery biopsy
• Vascular disease prevention (Tobacco, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia care)
• Comprehensive wound care with debridement
