Open Vascular Surgery is used to treat many vascular conditions, though typically minimally invasive techniques are preferred when possible. For open vascular surgery, your surgeon will generally create a long incision to directly access the blood vessel, vein, or artery that needs treatment. This will typically be done in an operating room with general anesthesia, though local anesthesia or sedation may be used depending on the specific case.
