A vascular surgeon is a specialist who evaluates and treats diseases of the blood vessels. Treatment can include traditional open surgery and endovascular approaches. Some of these surgeries may include: 1  Removing the plaque from an artery. 2  Bypassing the area of obstruction with a graft. 3  Performing endovascular procedures.
This type of surgeon performs nearly all venal or arterial surgery, with the exception of procedures done to vessels within the brain and heart â these are typically performed by a neurosurgeon or cardiothoracic surgeon. Until the 1970s, most vascular surgery was a responsibility of general surgeons.
