What is a Vascular Surgeon?

A vascular specialist can diagnose and manage disorders that affect the arteries, veins and lymphatic systems specializing in the medical and surgical management of all the diseases outside of the heart and brain.

A vascular surgeon diagnoses, treats, and manages conditions in your arteries and veins, also called your blood vessels. These specialists treat a range of health problems, from limb saving leg circulation problems to life-threatening aneurysms and can help patients manage chronic conditions throughout their lives.

A vascular surgeon offers a full spectrum of care, covering every possible treatment for circulation disorders, from medical management to endovascular procedures, to open surgeries and hybrid procedures that combine both open surgical and endovascular procedures.
