What Vascular Surgery Associates does

Vascular Surgery Associates (VSA) is an independent, physician-owned vascular surgery practice headquartered in Henrico, Virginia, operating across six locations in the Richmond metropolitan area and surrounding Central Virginia. Founded approximately in 1980 as Virginia Surgical Associates, the practice is organized around four integrated centers: freestanding outpatient Vascular Centers for endovascular procedures (angioplasty, stent placement, thrombectomy, dialysis access), IAC-accredited Vascular Labs for non-invasive diagnostic imaging (duplex ultrasound, cerebrovascular, peripheral arterial, and abdominal aortic studies), a Vein Center for varicose and spider vein treatment, and a Mobility Center for amputee prosthetic fitting opened in 2013. The clinical team comprises nine board-certified vascular surgeons, eleven registered vascular technologists, plus nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and an in-house ABC-certified prosthetist, with collective experience directing or performing over 100,000 vascular surgeries and 500,000+ vascular studies.

The practice operates on a fee-for-service revenue model, accepting virtually all major insurance carriers plus Medicare and Medicaid assignment, supplemented by hardware sales of premium prosthetic devices (Ottobock C-Leg, Power Knee, 3S80 Knee) at the Mobility Center. Patient acquisition is referral-driven through primary care physicians, dialysis units, and hospital admitting privileges at Bon Secours St. Mary's, Bon Secours Memorial Regional, Bon Secours St. Francis, and Henrico Doctors Hospital, with patient engagement supported by the Follow My Health portal and condition-awareness campaigns. VSA is a sub-brand within the StrideCare specialty practice network while preserving independent physician ownership, and holds AAAASF, IAC, and ABC accreditations. Recent strategic activity includes the 2021 acquisition of Richmond Vein Center, the 2022 opening of the Midlothian vein location, the 2024 opening of a Tri-Cities / Petersburg site, and continued physician and advanced practice provider hiring into 2025.

Accredited by AAAASF.
• Vascular Labs (Non-Invasive Testing Laboratories) Private non-invasive vascular testing laboratories providing cerebrovascular examinations, peripheral arterial examinations, abdominal aortic imaging, venous examinations, arterial duplex imaging, and duplex ultrasound scans. Staffed by nine vascular surgeons and eleven registered vascular technologists. IAC accredited.
• Vein Center Specialized vein treatment center for varicose veins and spider veins staffed by board-certified vascular surgeons. Offers sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation, ambulatory phlebectomy, Varithena, VenaSeal, radiofrequency ablation, and microphlebectomy.
• Mobility Center (Prosthetics) Prosthetic and mobility center providing custom prosthesis fitting and fabrication for amputee patients.

• Angioplasty Minimally invasive procedure to treat blockages in arteries using catheter-based balloon inflation and stent placement to improve blood flow.
• Carotid Treatments Carotid artery testing and treatment including TCAR (TransCarotid Artery Revascularization), plaque removal surgery, and stent placement for stroke prevention. VSA physicians have performed more TCAR procedures than any other group in Central Virginia.
• Lower Extremity Arterial Bypass Surgical bypass procedure for severe arterial blockages in legs when angioplasty is not effective, restoring blood flow to femoral arteries. 90%-95% of patients experience immediate blood flow improvement.
• Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Treatment Diagnosis and treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms with options for open surgical repair or Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR). 95% of AAA repair patients at VSA experience full recovery. VSA performs approximately 900 abdominal aortic aneurysm examinations per year.
• Angiogram / Arteriograms Contrast dye X-ray procedure to examine blood vessels in the brain, heart, or extremities to diagnose vascular stenosis, aneurysms, and other conditions; creates detailed imaging of blood vessels for diagnostic identification.
• Duplex Ultrasound Scan Non-invasive diagnostic imaging using duplex ultrasonography to examine arteries and veins, measuring size and blood flow. Can prevent the need for x-rays in many patients.
• Cerebrovascular Examinations Carotid duplex ultrasonography to examine carotid arteries and detect blockages or narrowing that could lead to stroke. Also examines the vertebrobasilar artery.
• Peripheral Arterial Examinations Non-invasive arterial exams including blood pressure cuffs, pulse volume recording, segmental pressure testing, and ultrasound arteriograms to identify vascular conditions in arms and legs.
• Venous Examinations Venous duplex exam using ultrasonography to evaluate upper and lower extremity veins for deep and superficial blood clots, venous insufficiency, and varicose veins.
• Arterial Duplex Imaging Examination to identify and evaluate blockages in arms and legs, useful for pre-op and post-op evaluation of endovascular procedures, dialysis access grafts, and other vascular conditions.
• Vascular Access for Hemodialysis Placement of fistula, graft, or catheter for hemodialysis access. Fistula directly connects artery to vein; graft uses a plastic tube; catheter is placed in neck or chest.
• Thrombectomy Procedure to restore blood flow to a clotted access using local anesthetic and IV sedation with medications or devices to unclot the access.
• Catheter Placement and Removal Insertion of tunneled cuffed hemodialysis catheters in neck or chest veins, or removal when no longer needed, using local anesthetic.
• Varicose Veins Treatment Treatment for painful and unsightly varicose veins including sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation, ambulatory phlebectomy, Varithena, VenaSeal, and radiofrequency ablation.
• Spider Veins Treatment Sclerotherapy treatment for small dilated blood vessels on skin surface using injected solution to close spider veins.
• Vein Mapping / Venogram Procedure performed prior to fistula or graft placement that measures and evaluates arteries and veins for successful vascular access creation using injected dye.
• Abdominal Aortic Imaging Duplex scanning of the abdominal aorta and iliac arteries to evaluate for blockages and aneurysmal dilation, track aneurysm size and growth, and monitor endovascular stent grafts.
• C-Leg Prosthesis Microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knee for transfemoral prosthesis users, industry-leading product with over 60,000 fittings. Weatherproof design with stumble recovery, smooth swing activation, and enables confident natural gait including walking backward and descending stairs step-over-step.
• Power Knee Prosthesis Motor-powered prosthetic knee that works as an integrated extension of the user's body, designed to restore and replace power of lost muscles and symmetry of movement for active users.
• 3S80 Knee Prosthesis Rotary hydraulic knee for sports enthusiasts with rapid flexion and extension, compact lightweight design suitable for sprinters, joggers, and competitive athletes.

Direct peers

• StrideCare: National network of specialized vascular and surgical practices of which VSA is a member. Operates the same clinical model (vascular surgery, endovascular, vein care) across multiple U.S. markets, making it the most direct comparable.
• Center for Vein Restoration: Largest physician-led vein care practice in the U.S., offering sclerotherapy, endovenous ablation, and other vein treatments. Directly comparable to VSA's Vein Center service line and patient demographic.
• The Vascular Care Group: Multi-site independent vascular surgery practice offering diagnostics, endovascular procedures, and vascular surgery in a community setting — same outpatient-anchored care delivery model as VSA.
• Vein Clinics of America: National chain specializing in outpatient vein treatment (varicose veins, spider veins, sclerotherapy, ablation). Overlaps directly with VSA's Vein Center service line and endovenous procedure offerings.
• American Vascular Associates: Multi-site physician practice focused on vascular disease diagnosis and treatment including AAA, carotid, and PAD. Closely comparable specialty mix and outpatient delivery model to VSA.
• Hanger Clinic: National orthotics and prosthetics provider operating in-house prosthetic centers similar to VSA's Mobility Center. Comparable patient demographic (amputees), insurance model, and use of advanced microprocessor prosthetics such as the Ottobock C-Leg.

Regional players

• Inova Vascular Services: Northern Virginia-based vascular surgery program within the Inova Health System. Provides the same AAA, carotid, PAD, and dialysis-access services as VSA but operates within a hospital system rather than an independent outpatient model.
