• Aneurysms of thoracic and abdominal aorta, using state-of-the-art stenting and fenestrated grafts
• Chronic limb ischaemia 
• Occlusive disease of aorta, visceral, renal arteries and peripheral arteries
• Treatment and prevention of stroke
• Traumatic and atherosclerotic dissections
• Renal transplantations: we have a multidisciplinary team including vascular surgeons, urologists and neurosurgeons

In addition to conventional vascular surgery performed in the main operating theatre, vascular surgeons, radiologists, cardiologists and other related specialists have the opportunity to perform studies and interventions in all parts of the vascular tree by using the latest technology in the endo-vascular suite.  This state-of-the–art unit was the first model of its kind in Victoria and is designed to cope with the requirements of modern angiography.  The availability of our onsite ultrasound service provides a one-stop-shop cardiovascular service from diagnostic to intervention.
