About the department

The Department of Vascular and Endovascular Surgery at the University Hospital Muenster offers the full range of services in these fields and is one of the largest medical institutions of this kind in Europe. A distinguishing feature of the department is the unique competence in the treatment of especially severe and rare vascular diseases. The department has a modern outpatient operating room, as well as a hybrid operating room, in which the patients are provided with the most effective and sparing treatment, if possible. Depending on the complexity of the surgery, the surgical treatment is carried out either on an inpatient or outpatient basis. The department is headed by Prof. Dr. med. Alexander Oberhuber.

The department's specialists provide treatment to 6,000 outpatients and more than 3,500 inpatients annually. More than 3,500 operations are performed here, as well as about 10,000 imaging examinations per year. The most sparing treatment method is selected for each patient.

The department's physicians are also actively involved in the development of new surgical treatment methods. As early as in 1996, the endoluminal catheter techniques were introduced into the department’s service range, which helped to optimize the treatment of patients with vascular diseases. Surgery and catheter intervention perfectly complement and combine with each other. Thus, the department's surgeons often manage to replace extensive intervention with minimally invasive ones. However, in some cases, the best treatment option is classical surgery.

The department specializes in the treatment of the following vascular pathologies:

  • Carotid stenosis
  • Aneurysms
    • Aortic aneurysms
    • Iliac artery aneurysms
    • Popliteal artery aneurysms
    • Rare types of aneurysms
  • Peripheral artery occlusion (circulatory disorders)
  • Venous diseases
    • Varicose veins
    • Inflammatory venous diseases
    • Deep vein thrombosis
  • Tumor diseases with vascular lesion (interdisciplinary therapy)
  • Injuries with vascular lesions (interdisciplinary therapy)
  • Formation of vascular access for dialysis, chemotherapy, etc. (interdisciplinary)
  • Other diseases

Diagnostic and therapeutic range of the department includes:

  • Diagnostic examinations
    • Doppler ultrasound
    • Magnetic resonance imaging
    • Examination of blood rheological properties and venous occlusion plethysmography
    • Colour duplex sonography
    • Treadmill ergometry
    • CT and MRI angiography
    • Digital subtraction angiography
  • Therapeutic methods
    • Thrombectomy
    • Thromboendarterectomy
    • Bypass surgery
    • Implantation of interponates (vascular lintels)
    • Correction in vascular transposition
    • Balloon dilatation in stenoses
    • Stent implantation
    • Implantation of prostheses, stent grafts
    • Hybrid interventions
      • Creation of a shunt between the right and left femoral artery in combination with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty/iliac artery stenting (extensive operations on the abdominal aorta may be avoided)
      • Thromboendarterectomy of the femoral artery in combination with percutaneous transluminal angioplasty/iliac artery stenting (complex bypass surgery may be avoided)
      • Treatment of bilateral vascular occlusion during a single operation
      • Hybrid Interventions in acute vascular occlusions
      • And other hybrid interventions
  • Other methods of diagnostics and treatment for vascular diseases
