The division researches and publishes on its novel advanced alert system for acute limb ischemia, and a simplified approach to treating axillosubclavian venous thrombosis using delayed first rib resection and scalenectomy. It offers advanced options for the treatment of lower extremity arterial occlusive disease using ultrasound guided plaque disruption and atherectomy excision.
