Surgical Care Specialties

  • Complex Aortic Care

    From minimally invasive procedures to open-aortic surgery, our surgical team expertly treats  the most complex aortic aneurysms, aortic dissections and   Aortic disease as a result of  connective tissue disorders such as Marfan's syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

  • Fenestrated Grafts

    During minimally invasive procedures like fenestrated endovascular aortic repair (FEVAR), your surgeon will place a special graft in your aorta with openings that align to the arteries traveling off the aorta, allowing blood to flow freely.

  • Stent Placement

    For conditions like carotid, peripheral, renal and mesenteric arterial disease, your vascular surgeon can place a stent in your blood vessel to hold it open and allow blood to flow freely. Many of these endovascular (minimally invasive) procedures can lead to quicker recovery to get you back to the things you enjoy.
