Vascular Treatments
Turn to Mount Auburn Hospital’s vascular surgeons when you need a procedure such as:
- Aneurysm repair – Reinforces a weakened section of a blood vessel to prevent rupture
- Angioplasty and stenting – Opens a blocked artery to your heart to improve blood flow
- Carotid endarterectomy – Removes plaque from the carotid artery to increase blood flow to your brain
- Saphenous vein ablation – Closes off twisted, enlarged (varicose) veins
Endovascular Surgery
Depending on your condition and procedure, you may qualify for endovascular surgery, a minimally invasive technique in which a surgeon sends tiny tools into your arteries or veins to diagnose or treat a problem. He or she can see inside your blood vessels because of a special dye injected into them to make them show up on real-time X-ray technology.
