Our Vascular Section is in the Department of Surgery of Indiana University School of Medicine, one of the largest medical schools and centers of the nation.  The patient care and research resources available to us are among the best in the country.

The Vascular Surgery Service provides comprehensive care to patients with diseases of the blood vessels (arteries, veins, and lymphatics).  Our staff physicians are specifically trained and board certified to diagnose and treat all varieties of blood vessel disorders.  We train the next generation of Indiana physicians in the care of these patients.  We also provide post-graduate training to physicians, surgeons, and medical scientists.

Our expertise is enhanced by an active Non-invasive Clinical Vascular Laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art technology.  Furthermore, optimal hospital-based facilities allow for innovative approaches to the treatment of vascular diseases, such as endovascular surgery (e.g. aortic stent-grafts for the treatment of aortic aneurysms).  

In addition, our service is very active in research, both basic science and clinical, in the hopes of advancing the diagnostic accuracy and overall care of our patients.  This aim may be reflected in experimental clinical protocols not available at other centers.  A clinical trial utilizing bone marrow derived cells to promote angiogenesis is in progress.
