  • Carotid endarterectomy
  • Carotid stenting
• Dialysis access procedures
  • AV shunting for hemodialysis
  • Fistula creation for hemodialysis
  • Fistula, shunt, and catheter rescue
  • Percutaneous hemodialysis catheter placement
• Lower extremity arterial bypass

  • Endovascular stent grafts
  • Open repair
• Varicose veins
  • Endovenous radiofrequency saphenous ablation
  • Microphlebectomy
  • Sclerotherapy
  • Varicose vein removal/treatment

We also conduct evaluations of the arterial system of the lower and upper extremities using the duplex ultrasound, Doppler, and pulse volume recording tests to identify disease symptoms.

A unique characteristic of the Vascular Center is that we have access to our own vascular laboratory. Our lab is one of the premier noninvasive vascular diagnostic testing facilities in New Jersey and it has accreditation from the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission, an organization that monitors and certifies tests, facilities, and equipment.

Physicians who serve our program are on the faculty of Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, a part of Rutgers University, one of the top research institutions in America. Our doctors are active in research and teach about all aspects of vascular surgery. Each brings leading-edge knowledge from the classroom to the exam room.
