At the Montefiore Medical Center, the Vascular Disease Management Center believes in a multidisciplinary, team approach toward treating its vascular patients. This integrated approach to vascular disease combines the expertise of specialists with the continuity of treatment necessary to provide the best care for patients. The partnership between vascular surgery and interventional radiology facilitates the exchange of information, resources, and knowledge about diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive techniques and technologies developed for helping patients and giving them the best treatment possible.
