As board certified physicians trained in all aspects of traditional surgical techniques, we perform a wide array of cardiac, thoracic, and vascular procedures. We also utilize the newest & latest innovations in surgery, leading the way in today's ever evolving field of healthcare.
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA); Endovascular or Open |
More Information... |
More Information...An Abdonminal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a condition in which the aorta, the main blood vessel in the abdomen, expands like a balloon; abdominal aortic aneurysms may rupture, or "pop", a condition which is usually fatal to the patient. Repairs include less-invasive stent graft repair (endovascular) or standard open repair.
Thoracic Aneurysms |
More Information... |
More Information...An aortic aneurysm is an enlargement of a weakened area of the aorta. Aneurysms which involve the ascending aorta, aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta are termed "thoracic aortic aneurysms." Aneurysms in these regions are prone to rupture once they reach a certain size. Fifty percent of patients who experience a rupture of a thoracic aortic aneurysm die before reaching the hospital. Furthermore, surgical repair of a ruptured thoracic aneurysm carries a 25-50% mortality as opposed to a 5-8% mortality when such aneurysms are treated electively.
Aortic Dissections |
More Information...Aortic dissection is a tear of the aorta (the largest artery of the body). This tear causes blood to flow between the layers of the wall of the aorta and dissects the layers apart. Aortic dissection is an extremely serious medical emergency and can quickly lead to death.
Carotid Endarterectomy |
More Information...A carotid endarterectomy is an operation on the carotid arteries in the neck. It is performed to clear out blockages that prevent blood from reaching the brain. This is delicate, high risk surgery best performed by experienced, expert vascular surgeons.
Peripheral Arterial Surgery |
