Our Services: Vascular Surgery
Vascular diseases affect veins and arteries in the body and the proper functioning of the vascular system is critical to your health. Diet, exercise and medication can be effective in managing your vascular health.
The vascular surgeons at Johns Hopkins Howard County Medical Center perform a variety of vascular surgeries and minimally invasive endovascular therapy, including abdominal aortic aneurisms, aortic stent-grafts/endografts, and limb salvage surgery. Patients suffering from carotid artery disease, renal artery disease, and peripheral arterial disease can weigh the various treatment options available, including medical therapy, as well as surgical and endovascular approaches. Our surgeons can help you determine whether surgery is right for you and if so, which type of procedure.
