Vascular Surgery
At Jackson Hospital and The Jackson Clinic, we know that a healthy vascular system is critical to overall wellness, because the vascular system is responsible for the flow of blood outside of the heart and throughout the body.
That's why we have established one of the Southeast's premier vascular surgery centers, with some of the region's best vascular surgeons and health professionals and equipping them with some of the most advanced, state-of-the-art equipment in the world.
All of this combines with the services of Jackson Hospital to offer a lifeline to those in need of vascular surgery and care.
The Vascular Center at Jackson Hospital is prepared to perform a wide-range of vascular surgeries using state-of-the-art equipment and the most qualified staff in the region. Whether you require an emergency, life-saving procedure to treat trauma or a ruptured aneurysm, or decide to undergo an elective procedures to prevent stroke, provide relief from claudication or treat venous disease, Jackson Hospital is prepared to help.
The latest therapies and cutting-edge minimally invasive endovascular treatments are offered by our experienced vascular team, which includes board-certified vascular surgeons, nurse practitioners and vascular lab technicians.
Procedures
In 2019, Jackson Hospital introduced a new procedure that can dramatically reduce complications during AAA surgery. This procedure was an endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) to repair an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. EVAR of the abdominal aorta is performed using a AAA stent graft. The AAA stent is placed within the aneurysm to provide a permanent, alternative conduit for blood flow within the patient’s vasculature, thereby excluding the aneurysmal sac from blood flow and pressure and preventing the walls of the aneurysm from rupturing. The AAA stent graft is inserted into the aneurysm through small incisions in the groin and without surgically opening or removing part of the aorta, thereby offering an alternative treatment choice to open surgery. EVAR procedures are associated with a significant reduction in complication rates when compared with open AAA repair and has also shown to reduce the number of ruptured AAA.
The EVAR procedure takes place in a new Interventional Radiology suite that extended Jackson Hospital’s capacity to 2 rooms.
