Pima Heart and Vascular physicians are continuously engaged in research to uncover and support new techniques and investigational devices for vascular surgery and endovascular surgery. Publications of our research and clinical case studies include national and international journals, textbooks, medical research opinions and live case studies.
Our goal in publishing research and case studies is to further the advancements made in the field of vascular surgery and endovascular intervention. As more physicians and vascular surgeons become aware of the latest treatment options, tools and devices used in peripheral intervention, we can reduce the number of unnecessary amputations that are performed each year.
