Heart to heart: Personalized care services

Our promise is simple: 5-star vascular care for every heart. Our patients can expect ongoing evaluation and treatment of cardiovascular conditions. From diagnosis to management, we’re here for you.

Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR)

This minimally invasive procedure opens a narrowed carotid artery. During the procedure, your surgeon may use a surgical balloon and stents to clear any blockages.

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Repair

This open surgery repairs rapidly enlarging AAAs, or AAAs that are causing symptoms. Your surgeon will use a graft to replace part of your aorta.

Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR)

Less invasive than AAA repair surgery, this procedure uses X-ray imaging to embed a stent graft into the affected artery. The stent graft then protects part of the aorta and prevents the aneurysm from bursting.

Thrombectomy

This procedure removes a blood clot in an artery or vein, usually following a stroke, to restore blood flow to your tissues or organs.

Carotid Endarterectomy

When plaque builds up in the carotid artery, this surgery can remove it and improve blood flow through the common carotid and internal carotid arteries.

Diagnostic Testing

Our Cardiovascular Center offers non-invasive testing, including cardiac and vascular ultrasounds; adult, pediatric, and fetal echocardiograms; carotid ultrasounds; lower and upper extremity imaging; vein mapping; and more.
