Expertise

Stanford's Vascular and Endovascular Clinic has gained national and international recognition as a Vascular Center of Excellence.

This is due, in part, to its large interdisciplinary team that enjoys close interaction among faculty, community vascular surgeons, interventional radiologists, cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, basic scientists, engineers, and computer scientists, as well as nurse coordinators, research nurses, vascular surgery fellows, and clinic support staff.

This unique working environment has resulted in remarkable academic and clinical productivity involving new and innovative techniques for the diagnosis and treatment of vascular disease.

You can expect:

• Surgical experience that counts with over 1,200 major vascular procedures performed each year. We currently perform more minimally invasive, or endovascular, abdominal aortic aneurysm repairs  than any other center in Northern California.
• A wide range of treatment approaches including surgical revascularization of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), minimally invasive procedures like angioplasty, stents, and new treatments for varicose veins.
  
• Superior patient experience: Our dedicated and skilled clinic staff strives to deliver the highest quality of care to our patients and their families.

Identify the problem, find the solution

Among our other achievements we've made significant advances in preventing stroke by identifying narrowings in the carotid artery and then clearing the blockage using surgical or endovascular techniques. We are also exploring innovative diagnostic techniques that can help all surgeons make better clinical decisions.

We have a deep commitment to interdisciplinary work—including daily interactions among diverse specialists and weekly interdisciplinary conferences.

In total, our vascular surgeons perform over 1,000 surgical procedures per year.

Our range of expertise includes:

• Open and endovascular repair of thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms
• Carotid and vertebral surgery and stenting
• Renal and visceral artery revascularization
• Lower extremity revascularization and limb salvage
• Upper extremity and thoracic outlet syndromes
• Long term dialysis access procedure
