Vascular Surgery
UI Heart and Vascular Center's vascular surgery team—made up of interventional cardiologists, vascular surgeons, nurse specialists, imaging specialists, therapists, and nutritionists—works with the latest technologies to achieve excellent outcomes for individuals with vascular disease. Whether treating someone with medication, saving a limb from amputation, or saving a life by fixing a ruptured aorta, our specialists help prevent strokes and heart attacks and improve circulation so that patients are healthier and feel more energetic.
Vascular disease is most common in people aged 40 and older, and many mistake their symptoms simply as signs of aging. Simple tests in our vascular lab can determine if your aches and pains, cramps, muscle fatigue, numbness or bluish skin are because of vascular disease. No matter what part of the vascular system is affected, our team of experts is equipped and ready to provide effective treatment and prevent complications such as kidney failure, stroke or loss of a limb.
