Specially trained surgeons at The University of Kansas Hospital surgically repair damaged or diseased blood vessels. Our vascular surgeons work closely with cardiologists, neurologists and interventional radiologists to develop and implement comprehensive, individualized treatment plans.
Heart disease or other disorders, such as diabetes, can damage veins and arteries. Blood vessel problems can lead to stroke or a heart attack. Common problems include:
For years, surgeons have repaired damaged blood vessels from within those vessels. This is called vascular surgery. Our surgeons are experts in both vascular surgery and a less-invasive technique called endovascular surgery, which can be used to treat aneurysm (dilation of the artery) and stenosis (narrowing of the artery). This advanced surgery results in less pain, quicker recovery and less strain on the heart.
All of our vascular surgeons are faculty members at the University of Kansas School of Medicine. As experts in their fields, they teach the most effective, least invasive surgical techniques to other physicians.
