Vascular and Endovascular Surgery

Overview

Guthrie vascular and endovascular surgeons treat patients who have vascular disease with care and compassion. Vascular disease involves the veins and arteries that circulate blood throughout the body.

At Guthrie, the vascular team works together to help manage and treat vascular diseases, such as:

• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)
• Carotid Artery Disease
• Peripheral Vascular Disease (PAD)
• Venous Disease
• Vascular Access Grafts and maintenance

Guthrie vascular surgeons perform endovascular surgical procedures, which use minimally-invasive endovascular procedures to unblock arteries and veins and restore proper blood flow. By using small cuts and instruments, surgeons can insert stents and grafts and remove blockages. These innovative techniques speed up the recovery and healing process.

Guthrie provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment of vascular disease and its complications, including:

• Endovascular repair of aortic aneurysm
• Carotid angiography and stenting
• Abdominal aortic surgery
• Angiography, angioplasty, stenting and bypass for lower extremities
• Vascular access for hemodialysis
• Varicose vein stripping and ligation
• Renal angiography and stenting
• Thrombolysis
• Non-invasive vascular diagnostic testing
