Vascular disease impacts your blood vessels and makes it harder to move oxygen and nutrients around your body.
Emory Heart & Vascular provides innovative, advanced treatments for a wide range of conditions. Some of the most common include:
- Aortic Aneurysm Repair: In this minimally invasive procedure, a surgeon uses a thin tube (catheter) to insert a stent. This supports the weak part of the aorta. Carotid Artery Stents and
- Carotid Endarterectomy: Surgeons make a small incision and use catheters to insert stents and remove plaque buildup.
- Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Treatments: We offer several treatment options for PAD, including:
- Minimally-invasive Procedures: Your surgeon uses a catheter to open your artery with a device. We may insert a tiny stent to keep the artery open.
- Surgical Revascularization: If several arteries are severely blocked, a surgeon removes a small portion of a vein in your leg. They use it to reroute blood flow around the blocked arteries.
- Varicose Vein Treatment: If a non-surgical option doesn’t work for your varicose veins, we offer a variety of surgical procedures including:
- Endovenous laser treatment (EVLT): Heat from a catheter makes the vein close and seal shut.
- Radiofrequency ablation (VNUS Closure): This is the same as EVLT but uses radiofrequency instead of a laser.
These are just some of the vascular surgeries we perform at Emory Heart & Vascular. Your doctors will develop a personalized treatment plan for you.
