The highly skilled surgeons and team within the Section of Vascular and Endovascular
Surgery direct both the medical and surgical care of patients with diseases of the
arteries and veins.
Tremendous advances in the last decade have resulted in several new techniques to
treat vascular disease, which is a common cause of death and disability. Our team
is at the forefront of innovations that include minimally invasive options for limb
salvage, prevention of stroke and the repair of aortic aneurysms.
We diagnose & treat the following conditions:
Abdominal aneurysm
Diabetic problems
Pulmonary embolism
Aortoiliac disease
Hyperlipidemia
Renovascular conditions
Arm Artery disease
Lymphedema
Thoracic aortic aneurysm
Carotid artery disease, stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIAs)
Mesenteric ischemia
Thoracic outlet syndrome
Claudication
Peripheral aneurysm
Varicose veins
Deep vein thrombosis
Peripheral arterial disease (PAD)
Venous insufficiency
Our surgeons play an integral role in the outpatient dedicated Vascular Lab at the
Augusta University Cardiovascular Center, a state-of-the-art facility offering experienced
vascular care.
The Vascular surgery team is also actively engaged in research in order to further
understand these disorders and improve patient care. Research interests include developing
new modalities for treatment of complex aneurysms and diabetic limb salvage. Additionally,
we are involved in promoting quality care through our participation in the Vascular
Quality Improvement database. Other areas include the treatment of blood clots and
arteriosclerosis through medical therapy, minimally invasive endovascular techniques,
and surgical reconstruction
The section also serves our veterans at the Charlie Norwood VA Medical center in the
treatment of complex vascular conditions, education, and research.
