Vascular Surgery at Duke has a long reputation of excellence in the treatment of vascular disease which affects millions of people each year.   We provide a wide spectrum of services - from life saving procedures to treat trauma victims and ruptured aneurysms -  to elective procedures to prevent stroke, provide relief from claudication, and treat venous disease in our state-of-the art vein clinic.   
 
The latest therapies and cutting-edge minimally invasive endovascular treatment are offered by our experienced vascular team which includes board-certified vascular surgeons, a PA, and vascular lab technicians. 
 
As a leader in education, Duke's Surgical Education and Activities Lab provides hands-on training to medical students, residents, fellows, PAs, and surgeons using state-of-the-equipment with a procedural focus on patient safety.   
 
The Duke Center for Vascular Diseases offers a multidisciplinary team approach to combating cardiovascular and vascular disease.  This collaborative effort provides expertise from Duke’s Vascular, Cardiac, and Interventional Radiology Services.
