We offer initial outpatient consultations at the Inova Vascular – Fairfax outpatient office. To schedule an appointment, call 571-472-2327. Surgeries are performed at Inova Fairfax Hospital.
We also provide virtual telemedicine options for new and established patients who are not in Virginia during their visits. New patients choosing telemedicine will need to provide existing imaging for review during the session. For more information, contact us at 571-472-2327.
We are committed to provide compassionate, high-quality care while achieving exceptional outcomes. Our multispecialty team, consisting of a vascular surgeon, a cardiac surgeon and an interventional radiologist, collaborates to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to your unique anatomy and health needs. This integrated approach enhances treatment effectiveness and reduces the risk of complications. By leveraging our expertise and the latest technologies, we deliver the highest standard of care.
Our team excels in complicated heart and blood vessel repairs, achieving better outcomes for challenging cases. We are proud to have a much lower risk of complications than the national average for these procedures.
Our dedicated team members combine their unique skills and experience to develop a personalized treatment plan designed to achieve the best possible results for you.
We offer a variety of surgical options and techniques, enabling us to tailor the best approach for your unique medical needs and body.
We use cutting-edge techniques, like fenestrated endovascular aneurysm repair, or FEVAR, to treat aortic aneurysms that were previously difficult to manage and sometimes inoperable. Additionally, we are participating in the GORE® ARISE II Trial to explore less invasive options for treating issues with the ascending aorta.
Our advanced operating rooms, equipped with the latest imaging technology, enable our team to make real-time decisions to optimize your care.
We maintain open communication with your primary care provider to ensure you receive the care you need following treatment, and we remain available to deal with any concerns.
The aorta, the largest artery in the body, carries oxygen-rich blood from the heart to various organs and tissues. Aortic aneurysms occur when the aorta's walls weaken or bulge, distorting its shape. The aorta can also tear, which is called an aortic dissection. These conditions can be life-threatening and may be detected through imaging tests. If untreated, aortic aneurysms and dissections can lead to serious, life-threatening complications.
We specialize in open and endovascular surgical procedures to manage large or complicated aneurysms and prevent serious issues like dissection or rupture. While we can treat urgent problems, our primary goal is prevention.
Our skilled surgeons perform open surgery to remove damaged portions of the aorta and replace them with synthetic grafts. This technique is used for severe cases, such as ruptures or dissections, requiring a chest or abdominal incision.
We offer minimally invasive endovascular techniques for patients who may not qualify for open surgery. Our surgeons insert stent grafts through small incisions in the groin or arm to strengthen the aorta and ensure blood flow. This method allows for shorter recovery times and includes:
We offer hybrid aortic surgery, which combines open and endovascular approaches to provide the most effective repair strategy for a patient’s anatomy and any existing medical conditions. This innovative approach often involves multistep procedures but can reduce risks associated with open-chest surgery – particularly for patients with a history of smoking or COPD. Overall, our hybrid aortic surgery significantly enhances patient safety and outcomes.
Dr. Endicott focuses on high-risk patients, particularly those who are not candidates for open procedures, and is adept at multiple endovascular techniques.
Dr. Ryan offers expertise in intricate open and endovascular surgical repair within the ascending aorta and across the aortic arch as well as in the descending thoracic aorta.
Dr. Spinosa specializes in high-definition, real-time, intraoperative imaging during complex surgical challenges. He is also skilled in using microcatheters and other specialized tools to reach and repair small, delicate areas or connect grafts, particularly in the various branches of the aorta.
