Leading-Edge Vascular Care at The Elliot Heart and Vascular Center

The Elliot Heart and Vascular Center offers comprehensive vascular surgery services to diagnose, manage, and treat conditions affecting the arteries, veins, and lymphatic system. Our board-certified vascular surgeons specialize in advanced, minimally invasive techniques as well as traditional open procedures, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Whether you need preventive screening or complex vascular surgery, our multidisciplinary team collaborates to deliver personalized care focused on restoring and maintaining optimal vascular health.

What is Vascular Surgery?

Your vascular system – or circulatory system – is made up of arteries and veins that carry blood throughout the body. As you age, the build-up of plaque and cholesterol may cause them to become stiff and narrow. This can obstruct smooth and efficient blood flow, resulting in various complications depending on where the “traffic jam” occurs.

Board-certified vascular surgeons have extensive training on how to diagnose and treat the full range of vascular conditions. They help patients understand their health issues and treatment options. Many vascular conditions can be treated with medications. If surgery is necessary, our vascular surgeons are skilled in cutting-edge, minimally invasive endovascular techniques, as well as in open surgery.

Conditions We Treat

  • Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease – Narrowing or blockage of the aorta or iliac arteries, restricting blood flow to the lower body and legs.
  • Arm Artery Disease – Blocked or narrowed arteries in the arms, which can reduce circulation and lead to discomfort or mobility issues.
  • Atherosclerosis – Hardening and narrowing of the arteries due to plaque buildup, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
  • Carotid Artery Disease – Plaque accumulation in the carotid arteries, which can reduce blood flow to the brain and increase stroke risk.
  • Chronic Venous Insufficiency – Poor vein function leading to swelling, skin changes, and ulcers in the legs.
  • Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) – Blood clots forming in deep veins, potentially causing serious complications such as pulmonary embolism.
  • Hemodialysis Access – Surgical creation of vascular access points for patients undergoing long-term dialysis treatment.
  • Lymphedema – Swelling caused by lymph fluid buildup, often due to lymph node damage or removal.
  • May-Thurner Syndrome – Compression of the iliac vein by the overlying artery, increasing the risk of DVT.
  • Mesenteric Ischemia – Reduced blood flow to the intestines, which can cause severe abdominal pain and digestive issues.
  • Pelvic Venous Reflux – Dysfunctional veins in the pelvis causing pain, swelling, and varicose veins in the lower body.
  • Peripheral Aneurysm – Enlargement of arteries outside the aorta, typically in the legs, which can lead to rupture or clotting.
  • Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) – Narrowing of arteries in the legs or arms, limiting blood flow and causing pain or numbness.
  • Renovascular Conditions – Narrowing of the arteries that supply the kidneys, which can lead to hypertension and kidney damage.
  • Subclavian Artery Stenosis – Narrowing of the subclavian artery, which can impair blood flow to the arms and brain.
  • Superficial Vein Thrombosis/Thrombophlebitis – Inflammation and clotting in superficial veins, causing pain and redness.
  • Thoracic Outlet Syndrome – Compression of blood vessels or nerves near the collarbone, leading to pain, numbness, and circulation issues.
  • Treatment of Spider Veins – Minimally invasive procedures to treat small, visible veins that may cause cosmetic concerns or discomfort.
  • Varicose Veins – Enlarged, twisted veins, typically in the legs, that can cause pain, swelling, and skin changes.
  • Vascular Infections – Infections affecting blood vessels, which may require surgical intervention and antibiotic treatment.
  • Vascular Trauma – Injury to blood vessels from accidents or surgery, potentially leading to bleeding or circulation issues.
