Department of Vascular Surgery

As a highly specialized discipline, vascular surgery is part of the Vascular Center of the University Hospital of Munich and is represented at both the campus Grosshadern and campus Innenstadt.

Key medical focuses of the department include open and endovascular aortic surgery, peripheral arterial occlusive disease, carotid surgery, venous surgery, and shunt surgery. Furthermore, the LMU's Department of Vascular Surgery offers an exceptional spectrum of treatments, ranging from complex operations on the aorta to endovenous (minimally invasive) varicose vein ablation using radio waves. Through close collaboration with our partners of the Vascular Center, we are able to offer an individual, interdisciplinary treatment approach, especially to patients with severe vascular diseases and concomitant diseases.

The research focus of the Department of Vascular Surgery at the LMU Klinikum Großhadern is in the following areas:

• Clinical research in complex aortic disease
• Basic research on 3D printed materials and models
• Public health and vascular medicine
• Carotid disease clinical research
• Advanced peripheral arterial disease technologies and techniques
• Plaque morphology and immun-histologic analysis of carotid plaques
• Biobank of vascular pathologies
