Vascular Services

Vascular disease involves disease of arteries and veins. Vascular surgeons treat all problems of arteries and veins throughout the body except those involving the heart and the inside of the brain.

Why See a Vascular Surgeon?

Vascular surgeons dedicate their entire training to addressing the full spectrum of vascular health and disease.

Vascular Surgeons are uniquely trained to provide ALL aspects of vascular care. By partnering with a vascular surgeon, you gain access to a comprehensive approach that includes:

  • Prevention
  • Medical therapy
  • Catheter based minimally invasive procedures
  • Open surgery
  • Ongoing disease management

Our board-certified Vascular surgeons are at the forefront of delivering comprehensive vascular care. and are uniquely trained in all these areas, ensuring the best therapy tailored to each individual’s needs in order to achieve optimal long-lasting results.

An ongoing relationship with your vascular surgeon helps you proactively manage vascular disease. Early consultation can often prevent surgery, as fewer than half of patients treated by a vascular surgeon require invasive interventions.

Vascular Conditions We Treat

Arterial diseases, such as blockages often caused by atherosclerosis (the buildup of plaque and cholesterol), can lead to reduced blood flow to critical areas like the extremities, kidneys, brain, and intestines. Alternatively, aneurysms, or the swelling of arteries, particularly the aorta, can occur. Both conditions pose serious risks and may result in life-threatening complications.

Common types of artery disease we treat

  • Pad – with leg pain, nonhealing wounds and gangrene
  • Aortic aneurysms
  • Peripheral aneurysms
  • Stroke or TIA with carotid artery disease in the neck

Vein diseases, which may include varicose veins, can have both cosmetic and medical impacts. They may also include vein blockages, either acute, like blood clots (deep vein thrombosis), or chronic, both of which can result in significant complications.

Common types of venous disease we treat

  • Varicose veins
  • Chronic venous insufficiency with swelling, non-healing wounds and discoloration of legs
  • Deep venous thrombosis

Kern Medical also provides arterio-venous access for hemodialysis, as well as treating hemodialysis access complications.

  • Dialysis access

Many vascular conditions are lifelong and your vascular surgeon will be your long term care partner. Be sure to ask to be referred to our board-certified vascular surgeons for the comprehensive care of your arteries and veins.
