St Mary’s vascular unit is world-renowned for historical, clinical and research achievements in the treatment of vascular disease, most notably in the aorta and carotid territories. The first carotid endarterectomy was performed at St Mary’s Hospital and the hospital has the largest series of hybrid surgical/endovascular procedures for complex aortic disease in the world.
The unit is ranked consistently as one of the top vascular units in the country by Dr Foster, an independent assessor of healthcare outcomes and has an active innovative research programme that includes robotic approaches to the treatment of vascular disease.
Services include:
A consultant vascular surgeon is available every day on-call.
There is a 24-hour regional service for vascular emergencies and a 24-hour national service for complex aortic vascular disease.
All consultants submit outcome data to the national vascular database and the overall standardised mortality rate for arterial intervention is one of the best in the UK.
