Vascular surgery

Vascular surgeons diagnose and treat problems with blood vessels, veins and arteries. (They do not treat problems with the brain or the heart.)

These surgeons can:

open blocked arteries to prevent stroke and treat carotid artery disease (This may include angioplasty and stents).
repair veins to improve blood circulation and treat peripheral artery disease (PAD)
treat aneurysms.

They also treat vascular disease with medicine, therapies and/or lifestyle changes.
