Vascular Surgery
Vascular surgery treats diseases affecting the arteries and veins. The vascular surgeons at SIU Medicine provide evaluation and treatment, conduct innovative research and train the next generation of surgeons.
Welcome
Welcome to the Division of Vascular Surgery at SIU Medicine. Our board-certified and board-eligible vascular surgeons are highly trained experts in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions involving the arteries and veins.
We help people living with conditions like aortic aneurysms, carotid artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and varicose veins. We use a combination of minimally invasive techniques, surgical reconstruction and drug therapies to enhance patient outcomes.
Vascular care is a rapidly growing field, and the providers at SIU Medicine make regular contributions with leading-edge research activities and advanced medical training for future providers.
