Vascular and Endovascular Surgery

Our vascular and endovascular surgeons provide comprehensive, leading-edge treatment for the entire spectrum of vascular disease.
Vascular diseases involve blood vessels throughout the body. Our specialists are trained and highly experienced in performing open and minimally invasive endovascular surgery for:

Procedures include:

Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a condition that impacts the blood vessels in the legs or lower extremities, causing them to become narrow or blocked. The blockage is caused by plaque buildup in the leg arteries.

Carotid artery disease is a serious medical condition that can cause a TIA or stroke and loss of life. Strokes can occur when plaque decreases blood flow to your brain because of the narrowing of an artery or by breaking loose and blocking an artery in your brain itself.

Minimally invasive treatments i:

• Trans Carotid Arterial Revascularization (TCAR) is a treatment that reduces the risk of stroke for high-risk surgical patients. TCAR minimizes surgery risks by keeping potential stroke-causing plaque away from the brain using a breakthrough proprietary device. Eisenhower Health is one of the leading hospitals in California offering the TCAR procedure for carotid stenosis with over 700 of these procedures being performed.
• Transfemoral carotid artery stenting for carotid artery disease opens a blocked artery. It improves blood flow and reduces your stroke risk. This minimally invasive procedure takes place through a small groin incision and your femoral artery. Using a balloon device and stent (mesh tube) to push plaque aside and keep the artery open.

Open Surgical Treatment Options

• Carotid Endarterectomy involves removing plaque that builds up inside the carotid artery. The surgeon will make a cut (incision) on the side of the neck over the affected carotid artery. The artery is opened and the plaque removedand the artery is stitched back together. This restores normal blood flow to the brain. You may have this procedure while you are awake under local anesthesia or while you are asleep under general anesthesia.
