Vascular Surgery

The Division of Vascular Surgery within the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine's Department of Surgery welcomes you to our website. Our mission is to reduce the mortality and disability from vascular disease through patient care, research, and education. Our strategy to accomplish this mission is to bring together highly qualified individuals who have basic and clinical research interest and expertise in vascular disease to create novel treatments and prevention programs to detect and treat arterial and venous vascular disease.

Northwestern Vascular Surgery provides cutting-edge medical, endovascular, and traditional surgical approaches to the management of a broad spectrum of vascular problems. We have a long-standing reputation for delivering outstanding clinic care, research funding, and training of students, nurses, residents, and fellows.”
