Vascular Surgery

At Memorial University Medical Center, vascular surgery is performed in a state-of-the-art, fully equipped endovascular surgical suite. The suite, called OR 20, was the first of its kind in the region. The surgeons of Savannah Vascular Institute use OR 20's highly specialized services and the latest technologies to treat vascular disease. Vascular disease causes hardening and narrowing of the arteries. Left untreated, it can lead to limb loss, stroke, or death.

Today, a growing number of vascular operations are performed with catheters alone or with minor incisions rather than large cuts. Often, patients who undergo these less invasive procedures experience reduced recovery time, less discomfort, and less pain following the operation. The Heart & Vascular Institute is pleased to offer minimally invasive surgical options through OR 20.
