Department of vascular and endovascular surgery

The department of vascular and endovascular surgery at Academic Hospital Hospital zum Heiligen Geist Frankfurt am Main provides state-of-the-art treatment for diseases of the arteries, veins and lymphatics. The department has various diagnostic tests to detect vascular pathologies, including doppler sonography, angiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The advantage for patients is that low-traumatic endovascular interventions are widely used in the department. Vascular surgeons are highly experienced in performing thromboendarterectomy, balloon dilatation and stent implantation. Open surgery is used as a last resort in treating particularly complex vascular diseases.

The department's medical services range from proven open surgeries to interventional catheter techniques and purely conservative procedures. The choice of therapy depends on medical requirements and the type of disease and is individually and closely agreed with the patient. The primary attention in the treatment is paid to occlusive processes in the vessels of the pelvis and legs, narrowing of the carotid arteries, expansion of thoracic aortic and installation of atrioventricular shunts in dialysis patients.
