Why UCSF for Endovascular Aneurysm Repair?
UCSF has a world-renowned program in endovascular surgery, one of the largest and oldest in existence. Vascular surgeons at UCSF have extensive experience in performing technically challenging surgeries for complex aortic aneurysms, those involving arteries running to the kidneys and intestines. Morbidity and mortality rates at UCSF for endovascular surgeries are among the lowest, and the program is recognized as a Center of Excellence and referral center. Vascular surgeons at UCSF were among those who pioneered the field of endovascular aneurysm repair for the abdominal aorta and thoracic (chest) aorta.
