Your vascular system powers your life. But sometimes blood doesn't travel through the body the way it should. Whether you're experiencing varicose veins, circulation problems due to a chronic illness like diabetes or a medical emergency like a stroke, our vascular team can help. The vascular surgeons at University Health are board-certified in both general surgery and vascular surgery. They're fellows of the American College of Surgeons (FACS). And they serve as professors at the University of Missouri – Kansas City School of Medicine.
