The faculty in the Division of Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy diagnose and treat the full range of blood vessel disorders from complex abdominal aortic aneurysms to varicose veins. As the most active center in the region, surgeons perform more carotid, aortic, and peripheral arterial repairs than any other.

Penn is also home to an extensive diagnostic facility that offers patients state-of-the-art technology with minimal trauma. Additionally, access and participation in the latest research and advanced clinical trials enables us to provide some of the newest and best therapies to our patients.

Working with a dedicated and specially-trained support staff, Penn’s Vascular Surgery team collaborates on a detailed process to improve outcomes and ensure patients and their families receive necessary education and support.
