Clinical Excellence, Compassion, Quality Care & Innovative Research

The Division of Vascular & Endovascular Surgery is an integral part of the UCSF Heart and Vascular Center, a multidisciplinary program which brings together vascular surgeons and other cardiovascular specialists to provide the most advanced and effective treatments for vascular disorders. Faculty members in the Division have achieved national and international recognition as leaders in clinical innovation, surgical education, and research.

We offer diagnosis and treatment of a complete range of vascular disorders, including arterial blockages (peripheral artery disease, or PAD), aneurysms, carotid artery disease, hemodialysis access procedures, and venous disease. In addition, we have expertise in less-common disorders including complex thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms that involve the upper abdomen and chest, hyperhidrosis, arterial graft infections, blockages of the arteries to the kidneys or intestines and thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS).
