More About GFM Vascular Surgery

Vascular Surgery is dedicated to the care of patients with disorders of the circulatory system. In the United States, these disorders fall into two broad general disease processes known as atherosclerosis and thrombophlebitis, which affect the arterial and venous systems respectively.

In the past decade there have been numerous diagnostic and surgical technological advances such as: endovascular aneurysm repair, ultrasound enhancement, angioplasty, stenting devices, endoluminal bypasses, and improved imaging techniques.

The vascular patient is one of the most difficult patients to care for because the disease process involves multiple systems of the body. As such, the care of the vascular patient requires the combined efforts of the surgeon, radiologist and internist, and by coordinating the services of these physicians is able to provide comprehensive total peripheral vascular care. GFM Surgical Associates is dedicated to providing the most up-to-date techniques in treating the vascular patient and is forging ahead in various areas of research to solve problems that only a few years ago were deemed unsolvable.
