Visceral Vascular Disease

Peripheral Arterial Disease

Occlusive disease and aneurysms can affect the arteries supplying the liver, stomach, spleen and intestine. Chronic and acute mesenteric ischemia — an under-recognized and significant cause of abdominal pain, weight loss and death — requires experienced clinicians and advanced diagnostic technologies to make an accurate diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment.

Our doctors are expert diagnosticians, well skilled in all types of treatments, who assure that the care plan is tailored to each patient’s needs.

Treatments offered:


Accurate diagnosis
A visceral artery aneurysm is an uncommon but well-recognized cause of intra-abdominal hemorrhage and death. An accurate diagnosis is essential, and choosing the appropriate intervention — endovascular or open surgical — will result in the safest, most effective and most durable outcome.
