Vascular disease is the one of the major causes of mortality and morbidity in the United States.
Peripheral arterial insufficiency, carotid artery disease, renovascular hypertension and post-thrombotic venous insufficiency are some of the common disorders of the peripheral vasculature that may exist alone, or in combination with, coronary artery disease. The Vascular Medicine Section offers a spectrum of health care delivery including complex diagnostic evaluation, risk factor modification, medical therapy and catheter-based intervention. Integration of surgical therapies, including peri-operative cardiovascular risk assessment, is also available.
