AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Peripheral artery disease (PAD)
PAD is a common disease in which narrowing of the arteries reduces blood flow to the extremities. We offer medical, endovascular and surgical management to improve the quality of life.
Limb salvage
Our mission is to prevent amputations by preserving the limbs and maximizing the quality of life of the patient.
Aortic aneurysm
Aortic aneurysm surgery is the treatment for a bulge (aneurysm) from the main blood vessel that runs from the chest to the abdomen. We specialize in both, minimal invasive and open surgery to treat this condition.
Dialysis access
Hemodialysis is used to remove waste and fluid when the kidneys are not working well. Our goal is to help with the placement and management of fistulas and grafts, so that patients avoid the long term catheter use.
Carotid disease
Narrowing of the carotid arteries could be a life threatening disease. We specialized in both, open and minimal invasive surgery to treat this condition.
