Vascular Surgery
With a robust research program encompassing a wide array
of studies and clinical trials on the Dallas campus, these
surgeons continue the tradition of being innovative pioneers
in vascular medicine and surgery. For a complete listing,
refer to the clinical research and trials section of this book.
In addition, the vascular surgeons on the medical staff are
extensively involved and recognized for leadership positions
in national organizations. Vascular patients treated at Baylor
Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital soon realize the
specialty care difference from a specialty hospital team.
The vascular surgeons on the medical staff at Baylor
Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital have long-
since been known to lead the nation in the number of
procedures performed for diverse thoracic and abdominal
aorta procedures and cerebrovascular circulation-related
occlusive disease, utilizing open and endovascular methods
and minimally invasive treatments for venous diseases.
Capabilities include a wide array of endovascular procedures
options for patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and
patients with aneurysms and vascular malformations.
• Arterial thrombolysis
• Iliac, femoral, popliteal, and below the knee
angioplasty and stenting
• Renal and mesenteric angioplasty and stenting
Among the U.S. population, the incidence of vascular
disease continues to increase. The world-renowned vascular
surgeons on the medical staff of Baylor Jack and Jane
Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital perform highly
complex and minimally invasive procedures to treat patients
for circulation-related occlusive cerebrovascular disease,
thoracic and abdominal aorta diseases or disorders, or
lower extremity circulatory disorders, along with complex
dialysis access patients. Together with a skilled clinical
staff experienced in managing the vascular surgery patient,
the vascular surgeons often bring forward new treatment
approaches. With ever-increasing volumes on the Dallas
campus, the group of vascular surgeons treat patients from
all over the world who have been referred or who have
researched specific specialty procedures within the scope of
vascular surgery known to be performed at Baylor Hamilton
Heart and Vascular Hospital.
