Aorta and blood vessels
From traditional surgery to minimally invasive procedures, we use the latest techniques to detect and treat conditions affecting the arteries and veins. These conditions include life-threatening aneurysms to blockages that slow or stop blood flow to the brain, limbs and vital organs. If left untreated, blood vessel problems can result in limb loss, kidney failure or stroke.
