Vascular Surgery

What Is Vascular Surgery

Vascular surgery is a surgical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of diseases and disorders affecting the circulatory system, including the arteries, veins, and lymphatic vessels.

Vascular surgeons collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as cardiologists and internists, to provide comprehensive care for patients with vascular conditions.

Vascular Surgeries We Treat

Accredited Cath Lab

AtlantiCare invasive cardiovascular laboratory (ICVL) or cath lab demonstrates the quality of patient care we provide using best practices for patient care and scheduling. Some of the procedures performed in the cath lab are:

• Abdominal aortic ultrasound: Used as a screening test to detect abdominal aortic aneurysm in men ages 65 to 75 who are also current or former cigarette smokers. It can help determine the cause of stomach pain or bloating.
• Arterial studies (ABI/PVVR, arterial duplex, upper extremity arterial testing): A series of tests used to diagnose peripheral vascular disease in the arms or legs.
• Carotid ultrasound: A painless, non-invasive imaging test using sound waves to create pictures of the inside of your carotid arteries. It is used to determine if there is a buildup of plaque or narrowing of the arteries.
• Venous upper & lower extremity: This ultrasound test evaluates whether you have a blood clot in your arms or legs.
