Heart and vascular surgery

Services we offer at our heart and vascular center

Many cardiovascular conditions can be treated with minimally invasive surgery. However, sometimes, a more advanced approach is necessary. We provide both.

Percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA)

We were the first in Colorado to use a specialized drug-coated balloon PTA catheter. This technology is an aid to the angioplasty procedure, preventing tissue from scarring and slowing the additional buildup of plaque in the artery. As a result, you experience the benefits of this procedure for a longer period of time.

Vein care

We offer a unique approach to vein care that caters to your specific needs. We use technology that has a lower failure rate and an operative team that is dedicated solely to vein conditions. All of our doctors are board-certified and are assisted by registered vascular technicians.

Varicose veins ("spider veins")

The veins in your legs contain valves that allow blood to move from your legs up to your heart. When those valves do not close properly, blood can pool in your legs, causing pressure and swelling, and leading to the appearance of varicose veins.

Varicose veins, or, spider veins, lie just below the skin’s surface. They can also appear as thick or bulging veins. Although many people believe that varicose veins are simply a cosmetic issue, underlying medical problems are often the cause. It is important to consult with a doctor about your condition, so you can get the proper treatment.
