Vascular and Endovascular Surgery

Overview

Specialists in vascular surgery and endovascular surgery at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota offer state-of-the-art diagnosis and comprehensive treatment of diseases of the circulatory system (arteries, veins and lymphatics). In Mayo's superb facilities, vascular surgeons develop and use new, minimally invasive endovascular procedures that produce excellent outcomes and rapid recovery.

Mayo Clinic's unique and efficient system allows vascular surgeons to work closely with other specialists in Cardiovascular Diseases and Vascular Medicine, Neurology, and Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology to care for patients with common vascular diseases, complex illnesses and rare arterial, venous or lymphatic problems.

Internationally recognized for their expertise in traditional open surgery and also minimally invasive endovascular and endoscopic procedures, Mayo Clinic vascular surgeons are eminently qualified to provide the most appropriate treatment to each patient.
