Your arteries, veins and capillaries are your body's superhighway.
Your arteries, veins and capillaries are your body's superhighway. Your blood flows through them to carry oxygen and nutrients to every organ and tissue in your body. When there's a blockage on that highway, serious problems can occur. What Is Vascular Surgery? Vascular surgery repairs damaged blood vessels or opens blocked vessels, so your blood can flow through more easily. Vascular surgeons at Luminis Health are experts in advanced endovascular therapy. They open vessels and remove blockages to improve blood flow in your neck, legs, kidneys and other organs — using minimally invasive surgical techniques. That means tiny incisions, minimal pain and scarring, and a speedy recovery for you., Why Trust Luminis Health for Vascular Surgery? Doctors from across the country refer their patients to us because they trust our skills and care. Our advanced surgical techniques offer treatments with less pain and faster recovery times. We're nationally recognized. The American College of Cardiology recognizes Luminis Health for our commitment to hospital care for our patients. We're proud to appear on the 2022 U.S. News & World Report list of “Best Hospitals." We have advanced expertise. Our vascular specialists perform the most carotid artery surgeries in the state, with excellent outcomes and a low risk of stroke. We support you with multidisciplinary care teams. Your care doesn't end with surgery. We have a dedicated team of health care professionals — including cardiologists, physical therapists, wound care specialists and other providers —who look after you as well. We're your health care partners, supporting you from diagnosis through recovery and beyond.
