Carotid Surgery and Stroke Prevention
A series of randomized, controlled studies have clarified the benefits of carotid endarterectomy for stroke prevention. Rockland Thoracic and Vascular Associates P.C. boasts one of the lowest complication rates for carotid surgery in the state of New York. A majority of our patients are discharged on the first post-operative day. Duplex ultrasound imaging for carotid disease is done in the setting of our ICAVL certified in-house vascular laboratory making the diagnostic work-up and follow-up evaluations convenient. We also offer Carotid Angioplasty and Stenting for the minimally invasive treatment of carotid artery narrowing when indicated.

Limb Salvage Surgery for Diabetes
and Other Vascular Disease
The last two decades have witnessed enormous advances in the treatment of circulatory disorders of the lower leg. Years ago, patients with poor circulation due to diabetes or other atherosclerotic disorders often faced major amputation. Our aggressive approach to limb threatening circulatory disorders has prevented the need for amputation in most cases. We offer a broad spectrum of treatment options to the patient with lower limb vascular disease. In most cases, the treatment is conservative and may only involve life-style alterations and/or medication. In cases where a more aggressive is indicated, a multi-modality approach may be used including interventional therapy (i.e. balloon angioplasty, atherectomy, stent placement, thrombolysis) and advanced surgical techniques. Our patients are closely followed in our office and vascular laboratory to insure a durable, long-lasting result.

Aneurysm Treatment
We have a large experience in the treatment of aneurysm disease. This is reflected in our excellent results of elective and emergency cases. Our aneurysm patients benefit from a multi-disciplinary approach to their care. The combination of cardiac anesthesiologists, medical consultants and well-trained surgical nursing staff provide for a successful transition from the preoperative to postoperative phase. For aortic aneurysm disease, we are able to offer our patients a minimally invasive option to conventional surgery. We are very proud of our aortic aneurysm endovascular repair program which is the most experienced and boasts one of the largest volumes in the Hudson Valley.

Dialysis Access
For the hemodialysis patient, we provide dialysis access services. The goal of treatment is to maximize the use of well-planned and well-constructed arterio-venous fistulas and grafts in order to minimize the impact that dialysis can have on a patient's life. To meet this goal, procedures are timely scheduled in order to decrease the need for temporary dialysis catheter use. In the majority of cases, interventional techniques including thrombolysis and balloon angioplasty can be used. All procedures can be done on an ambulatory basis avoiding the need for hospital admission.

Venous Disease
In conjunction with our Vein Center we offer a wide range of therapy for our patients with varicose veins and spider veins. We also diagnose and treat the sequelae of deep venous thrombosis and phlebitis.
