Vascular Surgery and Endovascular Therapy
Good Samaritan Medical Center uses some of the latest technology to deliver quality, comprehensive care to our patients with diseases of the vascular system – the arteries and veins. Vascular problems involve damaged or diseased blood vessels that
may have difficulty providing blood flow throughout the body’s blood vessels. There is an entire spectrum of circulatory disorders, including the most common problem, atherosclerosis or hardening of the arteries.
Additionally, the experienced team of physicians and surgeons at Good Samaritan Medical Center offer minimally invasive vascular interventional procedures to patients, including specialized procedures that are designed to spare tissue, repair damage,
and help maintain and restore function in limbs that would otherwise have to be amputated.
