The Cleveland Clinic Department of Vascular Surgery is expert in the treatment of vascular disease, and each year we perform more than 5,000 procedures.
While nearly one-third of our services are currently performed to treat those with atherosclerosis, we also provide a significant number of patients with care for aneurysms of the abdominal and thoracic aortas, and in increasing numbers, for those with venous disease. Our staff also provides dialysis for individuals with end-stage renal disease. Many patients are also treated for cerebrovascular disease to reduce the risk of stroke.
In addition to the Cleveland Clinic's main campus, our staff also provides care in six neighboring locations in Northeast Ohio.
Our Experience
Our physicians specialize in the diagnosis and management of carotid artery disease, aortic aneurysms, and poor circulation to the legs and the abdominal organs.
Much of our experience is in re-operative surgery for patients whose original operations have been performed elsewhere, and the department serves as a major referral center for these and other difficult cases throughout Ohio and the surrounding states of Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Acting in close cooperation with the Section of Vascular Medicine in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, cardiologists and radiologists, the Department of Vascular Surgery provides comprehensive services for patients with all types of peripheral vascular disorders, including the new technology of catheter-based intervention as well as traditional surgical treatment for aneurysms and obstructive arterial disease.
