Vascular Surgery
Vascular surgeons can perform a variety of surgical procedures using minimally invasive options to address vascular and venous conditions, using lasers, ultrasound and catheter-based techniques. Vascular surgery is a treatment and management option for a range of diseases and health conditions that affect the vascular system, such as carotid artery disease. Vascular health is based on the veins and arteries that run throughout the body, taking water, chemicals and nutrients to and from the heart.
