Conditions & Treatments

Vascular surgery at UCSF Medical Center brings together vascular surgeons and interventional radiologists to provide the most advanced treatments for vascular disorders. We offer diagnosis and treatment of a complete range of vascular disorders, including arterial blockages, aneurysms, carotid artery disease, cavernous malformations, dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVF) and venous disease.

In addition, we have expertise in less-common disorders including complex thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms that involve the upper abdomen, hyperhidrosis, arterial graft infections, blockages of the arteries to the kidneys or intestines and thoracic outlet syndrome.

The Vascular and Endovascular Surgery clinic, which is part of the UCSF Heart and Vascular Center, sets the standard for treatment of complex problems such as aortic aneurysms extending above the kidneys and blockages of the arteries to the intestines and kidneys.

This tradition of excellence and innovation continues with our development of safer and less invasive techniques for treating vascular disease, including our endovascular aneurysm repair program and catheter-based treatment of arterial blockages.
