Welcome to SouthernCTVascularCenter.com
The Southern Connecticut Vascular Center (SCVC) was founded in 2001 in order to provide expert vascular medical and surgical care to the communities of southern Connecticut and New York. SCVC is one of the largest group of board certified, vascular surgeons in the country and has an extensive experience in treating thousands of patients with vascular disease. Our vascular surgeons are trained in the latest vascular procedures. Our patients have access to a comprehensive level of expertise in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of vascular disease.
SCVC has multiple convenient locations throughout southern Connecticut, each with an accredited vascular laboratory. All of our surgeons were trained at major academic centers and pursue continuing medical education and can provide our community access to the highest level of vascular care. This includes minimally invasive endovascular therapy, open surgical techniques, and optimizing medical care.
The surgeons of SCVC maintain privileges at all the local hospitals with the most up-to-date technology available. Patients remain in their community and avoid commuting to a metropolitan tertiary care facility. This allows patients to remain under the care of their primary care physician that know them and remain close to their family. Patients are assessed, diagnosed, treated, and followed by a fully trained, board certified vascular surgeon at SCVC.
SCVC is currently expanding our faculty and adding more locations. This will allow more convenient access to state-of-the-art vascular therapies to the communities of Greenwich, Westchester, and the Bristol area without the inconvenience of commuting to a metropolitan tertiary care facility.

OPEN VASCULAR AND ENDOVASCULAR PROCEDURES

We make a decision about the best treatment method for each patient after we review all non-invasive studies and discuss the options, risks, complications and alternatives.
ENDOVASCULAR TREATMENTS: ANGIOPLASTY AND STENTS

Open carotid endarterectomy is the standard treatment for carotid stenosis (narrowing of the carotid artery in the neck). In our experience, it carries a very low risk - even lower than the national rate.
