We're a Leader In the Region...

• Clearing arteries with wire inserts, a specialized kind of angioplasty
• Treating tears in arteries, particularly the aorta, which can lead to blood loss and death.

And in the Nation...

• Performing minimally invasive surgery, including angioplasty, to treat arterial disease
• Using stent-grafts to treat aortic conditions.

Our Experience Means Better Outcomes

Research shows that patient outcomes are better at hospitals that perform more than 100 carotid endarterectomies a year; we perform about 120.

At UVA, we've been performing minimally invasive stenting (balloon angioplasty) for over 25 years.

We repair blocked or torn arteries with:

• Angioplasties and stents
  
• Blood-clot removal and medications
  
• Bypass grafts and surgical bypass
  
• Mechanical devices
• Endarterectomies
