Overview

Washington University vascular surgeons at Barnes-Jewish Hospital have unique expertise in standard and endoluminal treatment of vascular diseases. In addition, the 24-hour support from anesthesia, cardiology, renal, trauma and post-surgical intensive care physicians means better outcomes for patients.

High volume and the Medical Center access to the latest technology and developing techniques result in one of the lowest mortality statistics in the nation. Fatality rates are lower than 1 percent for endovascular repair of aneurysm, with a stroke rate of less that one percent for carotid artery endarterectomy.

All Washington University vascular surgeons are certified by the American Board of Surgery and all have earned added qualifications in vascular surgery.
