Our ideal candidate would have provider experience working in vascular surgery, general surgery, or cardiothoracic surgery.

Why choose to take a position with our Vascular Surgery team?

• We’re leading the way in carotid artery stenosis treatment. Our vascular surgeons offer an innovative new treatment for partially or fully blocked carotid arteries. It’s called transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR), and it lets us remove plaque from the carotid arteries without surgery. Our TCAR specialists are among the most experienced in Virginia.
• We can repair most aneurysms without surgery. Our team specializes in endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) for abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms. Not only can endovascular procedures help you recover more quickly and with less pain, but they’re often just as effective as open surgery. And when it comes to abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, our mortality rates are the lowest in the region.
• We take safety seriously. Although any surgical procedure comes with risks, our safety and quality processes have earned us low complication rates. Recent data shows only 1% of our patients undergoing vascular surgery experienced major complications, including excessive bleeding. This is lower than the national average of 2%.
• We proactively screen patients for other cardiovascular conditions. Instead of just treating our patients’ symptoms, we look for underlying heart and vascular problems that may be causing their vascular disease – or may increase their risk of life-threatening complications. For example, if you have frequent leg pain, we’ll order tests to see if you also have coronary artery disease or early signs of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
