When was the last time a doctor came to YOU?
I’m Dr Dan Nathanson, Endovascular Surgery Director at the Vascular Institute at California Pacific Medical Center, a unique program with specialists from four areas— interventional radiology, cardiology, vascular surgery and neurosurgery — working together to provide the most sophisticated array of treatment options for all aspects of vascular disease. With the minimally-invasive endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms, long incisions and lengthy hospital stays are no longer necessary. Patients are ambulating one day post-op and discharged the second day. Over 350 endovascular AAA repairs have been performed at the California Pacific Vascular Institute. This remarkably successful technique requires a high level of experience and technical expertise.
I’d like to make an appointment to see you in your office. Why? I’d like to take just a few minutes to familiarize you with our facilities, equipment, staff — and discuss treatment options for your next aneurysm patient.
The Vascular Institute offers: • Board certified, fellowship trained vascular specialists • Unparalleled care for patients with vascular disease • Endovascular abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysm repair • Minimally invasive lower extremity revascularization • Renal and visceral stenting procedures • Carotid stenting and endarterectomy • Endovascular and open options available and recommended without bias • In 2008, HealthGrades® ranked California Pacific “Best in the San Francisco Area for Cardiology and Overall Cardiac Services.”
