The Division of Vascular Surgery offers a full range of minimally invasive procedures in the treatment of diseases of arteries and veins affecting circulation, and operates as a regional center for the treatment of complex vascular problems. Members of the Division offer treatment of vascular disorders at The University Hospital, University Pointe, The Christ Hospital, Jewish Hospital, and the Veterans Affairs Medical Center. The Division performs standard vascular procedures for abnormal enlargement of arteries in the chest and abdomen, repair of previous aortic surgery, and bypass to bring blood flow around blocked arteries in the leg. Members of the Division have also been aggressive in the use of endovascular techniques in the treatment of obstructed blood flow and in traumatic injuries. The Division was one of the first academic vascular practices in this country to develop a formal program in endovascular surgery (a minimally invasive technique utilizing a stent, a wire mesh tube used to expand an artery) and remains a recognized leader in the clinical applications of this rapidly evolving field. The Division is part of the new UC Heart & Vascular Center which includes cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons and vascular surgeons to diagnose and treat cardiovascular and peripheral vascular diseases.
