This comprehensive article serves as a guide to the services, expertise, and commitment of Rutherford Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy. We will explore the latest advancements in vascular surgery, innovative endovascular techniques, and the team of highly skilled surgeons dedicated to delivering exceptional patient outcomes.

Advanced Vascular Surgery Techniques

Rutherford Vascular Surgery employs a wide range of advanced surgical techniques to address complex vascular disorders. These techniques include:

Open Surgical Repair: Traditional surgery involving direct exposure of the affected blood vessel for repair or replacement.
Endarterectomy: Removal of plaque from the inner lining of an artery to restore blood flow.
Bypass Surgery: Creation of a new pathway for blood flow to bypass a blocked or narrowed artery.
Angioplasty and Stenting: Minimally invasive procedures that involve widening narrowed arteries and placing stents to maintain vessel patency.
Aneurysm Repair: Surgical intervention to repair or replace a weakened or bulging blood vessel, preventing rupture.

Endovascular Therapy: A Minimally Invasive Approach

Endovascular therapy has revolutionized vascular surgery by offering minimally invasive alternatives to traditional open surgery. Rutherford Vascular Surgery is at the forefront of this innovative approach, utilizing cutting-edge techniques to treat a range of vascular conditions.

Endovascular procedures typically involve accessing the affected blood vessel through a small incision in the groin or arm. Specialized catheters and instruments are then guided through the vessel to perform various interventions, such as:

Balloon Angioplasty: Inflating a balloon within a narrowed artery to widen the vessel.
Stent Placement: Inserting a mesh-like device into an artery to support its walls and prevent re-narrowing.
Embolization: Blocking blood flow to a specific area, such as a tumor or malformation, to control bleeding or shrink the lesion.
Aortic Stent Grafting: Endovascular repair of an aortic aneurysm using a stent graft to reinforce the weakened vessel wall.

Expertise in Treating Complex Vascular Conditions

Rutherford Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy specializes in treating a wide range of complex vascular conditions, including:

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD): Narrowing of the arteries in the legs and feet, leading to poor circulation and pain.
Carotid Artery Disease: Stenosis or blockage of the carotid arteries in the neck, increasing the risk of stroke.
Aortic Aneurysm: A weakened or bulging area in the aorta, the largest artery in the body, posing a risk of rupture.
Varicose Veins: Enlarged, twisted veins in the legs, causing pain, swelling, and cosmetic concerns.
Spider Veins: Small, reddish-blue veins that appear on the surface of the skin, primarily for aesthetic reasons.
