Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system, including the arteries, veins, and lymphatic circulation, are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. A vascular surgeon diagnoses, treats, and manages conditions in the arteries and veins, also called the blood vessels. These specialists treat a range of health problems, from spider and varicose veins to life-threatening aneurysms, and can help patients manage chronic conditions throughout their lives.
Dr. Vargas chose vascular surgery for the variety of conditions she treats and the different open and endovascular procedures that she can offer her patients. She is proud of the relationships she is able to build with her patients and their family members as some of the vascular conditions require life-long treatment and surveillance. Dr. Vargas attributes her success to being a great surgeon who is passionate about her field, but mostly, to be a caring and compassionate physician who devotes time to listening and addressing her patient’s questions and concerns.
