Endovascular Surgery Providers
In endovascular surgery, vascular surgeons use long, thin, flexible tubes called catheters to access arteries and veins.
This allows them to diagnose and treat a variety of vascular conditions anywhere in the body. Our providers are highly trained with a wide range of experience.
We combine our expertise in
- cardiology
- vascular disease
- interventional radiology
- and other specialties
Our vascular surgeons perform endovascular surgery for all types of patients, even those with complex, difficult-to-treat conditions.
Benefits of Endovascular Surgery
Before endovascular surgery, blood vessel problems required open surgery in order to repair the problem. Now, endovascular procedures are less invasive than traditional open surgical techniques and can offer many benefits such as:
- No incisions
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less pain
- Lower risk of complications
- Shorter recovery time
How Endovascular Surgery is Performed
Instead of a large chest incision, our vascular surgeon will use small incisions, often using the artery near your groin as an access point.
During surgery, you will be under general anesthesia and made to feel as comfortable as possible. The length of surgery depends on what needs you have.
Most patients only need to stay in the hospital one night. You can most likely return to your daily activities in about a week.
