About the department

The Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at the University Hospital Frankfurt am Main offers the full range of services in these medical fields. The department positions itself as a supraregional medical facility specializing in the planned and emergency treatment of all diseases of the vascular system (with the exception of the pathology of the coronary arteries and vessels located near the heart). The therapeutic options cover both open surgery and advanced interventional catheter techniques (alone or in combination with classical surgery). Modern conservative treatments are also available here. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Thomas Schmitz-Rixen.

The department performs more than 2,000 surgical interventions on vessels annually. In addition, it admits about 4,000 outpatients every year. Of particular interest is the endovascular treatment of abdominal and thoracic aortic aneurysms. The experienced experts of the department also provide specialized consultations on arteriovenous malformations and complex diseases of the lymphatic vessels and venous pathologies.

In addition to standard and common treatment methods, the department offers unique types of therapy. For example, in 2016, as part of an international research, a completely new endovascular procedure for dialysis access formation was introduced into clinical practice. The first promising results of its application are already received.

It is worth noting that great importance is attached to interdisciplinary cooperation with specialists from the related fields (for example, experts in the field of diagnostic and interventional radiology, angiology, cardiology, nephrology). Thus, the department has everything necessary to guarantee each patient the comprehensive and most effective treatment.

The service range of the department includes:

  • Diagnostics
    • Ultrasound diagnostics (Doppler and duplex ultrasonography) of arteries and veins
    • Special 3D sonography and speckle tracking
    • Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS)
    • Doppler systolic blood pressure and treadmill testing
    • Angiography (digital subtraction angiography, CO2 angiography)
    • Phlebography
    • MR angiography
    • CT angiography
    • Capillary microscopy (in collaboration with the Department of Angiology)
  • Treatment of simple and complex aneurysms of the thoracic and abdominal aorta (within the specialized certified center)
    • Open and endovascular surgery of aneurysms of various localization
    • Complicated procedures with the implantation of multiple fenestrated stent grafts
    • Combined open and endovascular interventions (hybrid surgery)
  • Open surgical, endovascular and conservative treatment of peripheral vascular diseases
    • Open and endovascular surgery of the supra-aortic vascular branches (blood vessels of the brain, carotid artery, subclavian artery)
    • Open and endovascular surgery of the abdominal arteries
    • Open and endovascular surgery of the peripheral arterial system (scleroplasty, bypass surgery, percutaneous transluminal angioplasty)
    • Intravenous infusion therapy, local intra-arterial thrombolysis
