Vascular Surgical Procedures

Vascular Surgery

Vascular Surgical Procedures:

Endo-vascular Procedures:

Endo-vascular Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: This is a minimally invasive procedure using a stent graft that is inserted through two small incisions in the groin.
Transluminal Balloon & Stent Angioplasty: This is done for blockages in the arteries and is minimally invasive.
Vena Cava Filter Insertion

Vascular Procedures:

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair: This is a standard open surgery.
Peripheral & Distal Bypasses:

Aortoiliac or Aortofemoral bypass

Axillofemoral bypass

Femoral - Femoral bypass

Femoral - Popliteal bypass

Femoral - Tibial bypass

Femoral Dorsalis Pedis bypass

All of these surgical procedures are done for blockages in the arteries, advanced poor circulation, or ulcers and gangrene of the limbs

Carotid Endarterectomy: This is done for the prevention of stroke or for recurrent strokes.
Carotid - Carotid bypass
Carotid - Subclavian bypass
Infusaport and Central Line Insertions: This is done for IV therapy or chemotherapy administration.
Scalene Node Biopsy
Temporal Artery Biopsy: This is done to rule out inflammation of the arteries causing headaches and eye or facial pain.
Varicose Veins: Conservative and Surgical treatments are available.

Dialysis Access:

These procedures are performed for patients with kidney failure who need to have hemodialysis

Creation of Arteriovenous fistulas and shunts

Various Catheter Insertions

Vascular Ultrasound:

Vascular Ultrasounds are done by using sound waves to produce images of the inside of vascular structures, such as the carotid arteries which supply blood flow to the brain and the arterial and venous structures of the lower extremities. With the ability to see inside the vessels we are able to detect narrowing of the arteries from plaque or stenosis, along with blood clots which can form in the venous vessels.

Our lab also has the equipment to do pulse volume readings and pressure readings of the arterial system to help determine decreased circulation to the rams and legs.

Early detection is the key to reducing severe vascular problems.

Ultrasound is an accurate and painless procedure and with exams being done and read in our facility, patients are assured of prompt results which are given by the physician who interprets them.
