The research branch of the division of vascular surgery has a strong commitment and documented history of helping to provide the community with quality healthcare. The division’s ongoing research explores and evaluates surgical techniques and treatment options, pursuing projects that improve our understanding of vascular disease and healthcare delivery. 

We welcome you to explore the ongoing research projects within the division of vascular surgery.

Our surgeons provide comprehensive and current care to patients with arterial, venous and lymphatic disease. This care encompasses the diagnosis, investigation, treatment and follow-up of all vascular disorders, whether they are common or rare, routine or complex. Over the years, our referral population has expanded well beyond Hamilton and area hospitals and we now serve as a regional referral centre for patients from Niagara, Haldimand-Norfolk, Brant and Halton. We are also often asked to provide emergency and or complex care for patients throughout the province. The division of vascular surgery actively collaborates with, and supports, many of the other McMaster University regional programs, including trauma, hemodialysis and renal transplant, cardiac surgery and surgical oncology. Our division members, with diverse interests and training, collectively bring an extensive experience and skill set capable of addressing any or all challenges in vascular surgery.
