Vascular Surgery

Find the expert, specialized vascular surgeries you need

Vascular diseases disrupt the intricate system of blood vessels that transport blood throughout your body. If you have a vascular condition, treatment by a vascular specialist and vascular surgeon could be a key part of your treatment plan.

With access to advanced techniques and specialized technologies, your surgeon can recommend the right solution for your condition.

Conditions treated

Vascular surgeons can treat many vascular conditions with ongoing management or intervention, including:

Aortic aneurysms, balloon-like bulges in the aorta, the body’s largest artery in the chest and abdomen
Carotid artery disease, a narrowing of blood vessels that carry blood to the brain and face
Peripheral artery disease (PAD), narrowing or blockage in the blood vessels that carry blood from the heart to the abdominal organs, the arms and legs
Thoracic outlet syndrome, a condition that involves compression in one or more of the nerves, arteries and veins leading to the arms
Chronic venous insufficiency, where veins have difficulty moving blood back to the heart
Pulmonary embolus, clots in the body that may travel to the lungs
Deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot that forms in a deep vein in the body
Varicose veins, bulging, sometimes painful veins in the legs

Options for vascular surgery

Your options for vascular surgery will be based on your unique condition and tailored treatment plan.

What to expect from vascular surgery

Each vascular surgery has different requirements, and your care team will provide you with instructions about preparing for your specific procedure. Your instructions may include tests you’ll need both before and after the procedure and guidelines for taking medications and fasting before the procedure.

It’s important to carefully review those instructions in the days and weeks before surgery to ensure you fully understand the steps you need to take.

Recovering from vascular surgery

Recovery after vascular surgery and the length of your hospital stay depends on the specific procedure and whether it was an open or endovascular surgery. Ask your surgeon what to expect after surgery, including how long you’ll need to stay in the hospital and what you can expect for your recovery.

Your care team can advise you about any symptoms to watch for that could indicate a complication. If you experience potential signs of infection or other complications, call your surgeon’s office or follow the provided instructions.

Full recovery and healing may take from several days to several months. Carefully follow your vascular surgeon’s guidance about when it’s safe to resume daily activities, including work.
