Providing you next-day appointments for quality vascular care and the latest endovascular technology, including minimally invasive procedures for faster, smoother recoveries.
The Rush Approach to Vascular Surgery
As a part of a leading academic medical institution, Rush vascular specialists have decades of experience diagnosing and treating both common and rare diseases that affect the arteries, veins and lymphatic system. This includes aneurysms, peripheral vascular disease (PVD), varicose veins and thoracic outlet syndrome.
Whatever your condition, we want to make sure you feel heard and taken care of. That’s why we encourage and include your input when we’re developing your personalized and comprehensive care plan.
Our surgeons use the latest technology — including open surgery, minimally invasive surgery and catheter-based treatments — to help you recover faster and with less pain. The team is highly skilled in aortic dissections, complex aortic aneurysm repair, arterial reconstruction, lower extremity bypass, carotid artery surgery, thoracic outlet decompression and venous procedures.
We also specialize in diagnosing and managing non-healing wounds on the limbs, especially the hands and feet. Our comprehensive approach to wound care includes a range of treatment options, risk factor management and nutrition counseling, to help your wound heal and restore any lost function.
