Vascular Center
Personalized Advanced Care for Vascular Disease
The Vascular Center at Samsung Medical Center is a multidisciplinary institute dedicated to the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases. It was established through the close collaboration of specialists from vascular surgery, cardiovascular and aortic surgery, cardiology, and interventional medicine, all working together to provide optimal and personalized care for patients with complex vascular conditions.
We provide integrated care across the entire spectrum of vascular disease, addressing both congenital anomalies and acquired conditions. This includes aortic pathologies, peripheral arterial and venous disorders, and complex vascular malformations. Whether the disease is present at birth or develops later in life, our team delivers individualized, evidence-based treatment using the latest surgical and interventional techniques.
In addition, our center serves as a referral hub for patients with genetic aortopathies. We provide comprehensive evaluation, including genetic testing, family screening, advanced imaging, and lifelong surveillance, along with timely surgical intervention to prevent life-threatening complications like aortic dissection or rupture.
The center operates under a fully integrated system that includes multidisciplinary rounds, collaborative case discussions, and state-of-the-art hybrid operating suites. These capabilities enable us to perform hybrid procedures that combine open surgery and catheter-based techniques for safer and more effective outcomes.
Guided by the mission to design the pathway that protects life through vascular care, our Vascular Center is committed to leading the field in clinical excellence, research, and education??locally and globally.
Advanced Technology and Innovative Treatment Approaches
We deliver cutting-edge vascular care through the latest technologies and treatment innovations, enabling minimally invasive solutions for even the most complex aortic and peripheral vascular conditions. This results in faster recovery, fewer complications, and improved patient outcomes.
We utilize advanced imaging techniques, including high-resolution CT angiography, MRI, and 3D vascular reconstruction for precise diagnosis and treatment planning. For patients with genetic aortopathies such as Marfan or Loeys-Dietz syndrome, we offer comprehensive genetic screening and family surveillance programs for early detection and intervention.
Our interventional team performs a wide range of catheter-based procedures such as EVAR (endovascular aneurysm repair), TEVAR (thoracic endovascular aortic repair), balloon angioplasty, and stent placement, using the latest devices and protocols.
We also engage actively in clinical research and innovation, ensuring that patients have access to emerging therapies and participation in cutting-edge clinical trials. Our commitment to technological excellence and patient-centered care ensures the delivery of safe, advanced, and highly individualized treatment.
Specialized Expertise
24-Hour Aortic Emergency Response System
We operate a 24/7 dedicated aortic emergency team to rapidly assess and treat life-threatening conditions like aortic dissection and rupture, ensuring timely, coordinated care and improved patient survival.
Marfan Clinic
The Marfan Clinic provides lifelong, multidisciplinary care for patients and their families affected by Marfan syndrome and related aortopathies, focusing on early detection, tailored treatment, and better outcomes.
Congenital Vascular Malformation Clinic
Congenital vascular malformations are present at birth and may enlarge over time, unlike hemangiomas. They require expert diagnosis and specialized treatment for effective management.
