Vascular Surgery
Vascular surgery is dedicated to the care of patients with disorders of the circulatory system. At Carilion, we treat a range of conditions including abdominal abdominal aortic aneurysms, carotid disease, occlusive disease, renovascular disease, venous disease and other vascular disease. Our team delivers a wide range of cardiac surgical treatments including:
- Angioplasty
- Aortic dissections
- Carotid
- Endoluminal bypasses
- Endovascular aneurysm repair
- Minimally invasive surgery
- Stenting devices
The vascular patient is one of the most difficult patients to care for because the disease process involves multiple systems of the body. We believe that optimal care of the patient with vascular disease is best provided in a true interdisciplinary environment. In other words, out team combines the expertise and efforts of vascular surgeons, internists, cardiologists and interventional radiologists. At Carilion, we pledge to provide comprehensive total peripheral vascular care.
