Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, or arteries, veins, and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. Endovascular surgery is an innovative, less invasive procedure used to treat problems affecting the blood vessels, such as an aneurysm, which is a swelling or ballooning of the blood vessel. As an expert in his field, Dr. De Jesus treats a range of health problems, from spider and varicose veins to life-threatening aneurysms, and can help patients manage chronic conditions throughout their lives.
Even after the time and financial investment in higher education, Dr. De Jesus emphasizes the necessity of being a lifelong learner while in the medical field. “I still read almost every day,” he said. And although the financial investment is surely paying back its dividends these days, the doctor states, “You can’t get into something for the money. If you want to be a doctor or nurse, you have to love what you do. Are there things that I need to do that I don’t like? Of course. But the actual work, the actual taking care of people and making them better and seeing them smile, that’s amazing.”
