Surgical and Nonsurgical Vascular Procedures

Offering Various Vascular Treatment Options for Patients

Sharp’s vascular surgery program uses the most advanced technology, including minimally invasive procedures whenever possible.

Medical advancements in catheter-guided technology and imaging means that interventional radiologists, cardiologists and vascular surgeons can treat and diagnose a variety of vascular conditions without surgery. These minimally invasive procedures require only a small incision and are often less risky, produce less pain and result in a faster, easier recovery than surgical procedures.

Patients with peripheral vascular disease, kidney failure, stroke, gastrointestinal disorders, liver disease, pulmonary disease, fibroids and even cancer can benefit from these minimally invasive procedures.
