The vascular surgeons of the UC Heart & Vascular Center are nationally renowned and specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with vascular diseases. The Division was one of the first practices in the 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.

UC Heart & Vascular Center 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. Our surgeons have also been aggressive in the use of endovascular techniques in the treatment of obstructed blood flow and in traumatic injuries. Our laboratories include state-of-the-art computerized imaging equipment to assist in diagnosing vascular disease.
