Surgery, Vascular

Surgery of the vascular system includes specific carotid artery surgery, surgery for abdominal or non- cardiac thoracic aortic aneurysms, bypasses for occluded vessels in the arms or legs, embolectomies (removal of blood clots from vessels), amputations, repair of injured or traumatized arteries and veins, creation of arteriovenous fistulas (connection of artery to vein, thus bypassing capillaries) for the insertion of hemodialysis equipment and advanced surgical techniques in balloon and laser angioplasty. Vascular surgeons see patients by referral from your primary care physician.
