Vascular Surgery
About
Our vascular surgeons specialize in the treatment of peripheral arterial and venous diseases. We offer traditional surgery as well as minimally invasive options for the treatment of abdominal and thoracic aneurysms, the carotid artery, occlusive disease of the upper and lower extremity arteries and venous problems, including varicose veins.
Advanced techniques, including laser and mechanical atherectomy and ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis, are offered in addition to the medical management of peripheral vascular disease together with your primary care physician.
If the signs and symptoms of a vascular condition are present it is important to see a vascular surgeon even when surgery may not be needed. A common vascular condition such as atherosclerosis may show up only in the legs, for example, but negatively affect other areas of the body. Our specialists make sure patients with vascular health issues know and understand all of their options.
Our vascular surgeons also provide vascular intervention for limb salvage purposes.

What is peripheral artery disease?
Peripheral artery disease (also called peripheral arterial disease) is a common circulatory problem in which narrowed arteries reduce blood flow to your limbs.
When you develop peripheral artery disease (PAD), your legs or arms — usually your legs — don't receive enough blood flow to keep up with demand. This may cause symptoms, such as leg pain when walking (claudication).
Peripheral artery disease is also likely to be a sign of a buildup of fatty deposits in your arteries (atherosclerosis). This condition may narrow your arteries and reduce blood flow to your legs and, occasionally, your arms.
Peripheral artery disease signs and symptoms:
- Painful cramping in one or both of your hips, thighs or calf muscles after certain activities, such as walking or climbing stairs
- Leg numbness or weakness
- Coldness in your lower leg or foot, especially when compared with the other side
- Sores on your toes, feet or legs that won't heal
- A change in the color of your legs
- Hair loss or slower hair growth on your feet and legs
- Slower growth of your toenails
- Shiny skin on your legs
- No pulse or a weak pulse in your legs or feet
- Erectile dysfunction in men
- Pain when using your arms, such as aching and cramping when knitting, writing or doing other manual tasks
If peripheral artery disease progresses, pain may even occur when you're at rest or when you're lying down. It may be intense enough to disrupt sleep. Hanging your legs over the edge of your bed or walking around your room may temporarily relieve the pain.
When to see a doctor
If you have leg pain, numbness or other symptoms, don't dismiss them as a normal part of aging. Call your doctor and make an appointment.
