Vascular Surgery | Endovascular Surgery

Vascular and endovascular surgeries are treatments for conditions of the blood vessels and lymphatic system, also known as vascular diseases. MaineHealth doctors and surgeons provide advanced surgical treatments, including bypass surgery and endovascular therapy. Vascular bypass surgery reroutes the blood supply around a blocked artery. Endovascular surgeries are less invasive procedures for repairing blood vessel problems.
