The Vascular Experts

What The Vascular Experts does

The Vascular Experts is a privately held, physician-owned medical practice specializing in vascular surgery, endovascular therapy, and vascular disease management. Founded in 2001 by Dr. Marsel Huribal as a single-surgeon practice, it has grown into the self-described largest group of Board-certified vascular surgeons in the United States, employing more than 20 board-certified vascular surgeons and approximately 30 clinical providers across 16+ office locations in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Florida.

The practice offers a comprehensive vascular care continuum: non-invasive diagnostic testing (ultrasound, PVR), minimally invasive endovascular procedures (angioplasty, stenting, sclerotherapy, endovenous ablation, thrombectomy, thrombolysis), traditional open vascular surgery, and specialized services such as genicular artery embolization for knee osteoarthritis. The TVE Aesthetics sub-brand extends into cash-pay cosmetic procedures including sclerotherapy, laser treatments, BOTOX, RF microneedling, and chemical peels. The practice has served as an early clinical site for 'First in Human' deployments of next-generation devices from Inari Medical (Artix Gen 2) and PQ Bypass/Endologix (DETOUR System), signaling engagement with cutting-edge endovascular technology. Hospital privileges at facilities such as Norwalk, Stamford, and Middlesex support inpatient and surgical case work beyond in-office procedures.

The business model is professional-services based, with the majority of revenue derived from insurance-reimbursed vascular surgery and endovascular procedures, supplemented by the cash-pay aesthetics vertical. Patient acquisition relies on direct-to-consumer marketing (community health seminars, free ultrasound screenings, Saturday walk-in ultrasounds), physician referrals from regional hospitals, and a content/SEO-driven digital presence. The practice has not disclosed external investment or PE/VC ownership; ownership remains physician-controlled with the founder serving as Senior Partner.

Products and services

• Vascular Diagnostic Testing Non-invasive diagnostic services including ultrasound and PVR (pulse volume recording) performed in-house or at local hospitals for adult patients with suspected vascular disease.
• Angioplasty and Stenting Endovascular technique using balloon dilation and stent placement to open narrowed or blocked arteries as part of modern endovascular therapy for vascular disease.
• Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) Treatment Comprehensive treatment for PAD ranging from conservative management to minimally invasive balloon angioplasty and stenting to open surgical bypass procedures for limb salvage.
• Aortic Disease Treatment Treatment for life-threatening aortic diseases including aortic dissections, aneurysms, and occlusions using advanced medical technology and minimally invasive techniques.
• Carotid Artery Disease Treatment Treatment for carotid artery narrowing using medication, minimally invasive carotid stenting, or open surgical repair (carotid endarterectomy) to prevent stroke.
• Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) Treatment Treatment for DVT including blood thinners and thrombolysis therapy using minimally invasive techniques (Trellis, Ekos, Angiojet) to dissolve clots and prevent post-thrombotic syndrome.
• Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE) Minimally invasive procedure to treat knee pain caused by osteoarthritis by reducing blood flow to inflamed areas of the knee joint, for patients seeking to delay or avoid knee replacement surgery.
• Dialysis Access Creation and maintenance of vascular access for patients requiring dialysis, including fistulas and grafts.
• Endovenous Ablation (Laser and Radiofrequency Closure) Minimally invasive procedure using heat (laser or radiofrequency) to seal problematic veins, performed with only a needle puncture and no incisions.
• Sclerotherapy Minimally invasive injection treatment for varicose veins and spider veins that causes the treated vein to close and fade away.
• Surgical Treatment Traditional open surgical procedures for vascular disease when minimally invasive approaches are not suitable, including bypass surgery and vascular reconstruction.
• TVE Aesthetics Cosmetic and aesthetic medicine division offering treatments for spider veins, facial rejuvenation, and cosmetic procedures including sclerotherapy, laser treatments, BOTOX Cosmetic, RF microneedling, laser hair removal, and chemical peels.
• DETOUR System Procedure Minimally invasive percutaneous femoropopliteal bypass using the DETOUR System (PQ Bypass) for treatment of peripheral arterial disease, offering an alternative to traditional open bypass surgery for limb salvage.
• Artix Gen 2 Arterial Thrombectomy Minimally invasive arterial thrombectomy using the Artix Gen 2 system (Inari Medical) for arterial clot removal, designed to reduce risk of clot migration, eliminate need for lytic medications, and minimize blood loss.

Direct peers

• Center for Vein Restoration: Largest national physician-led vein and vascular practice group, offering endovenous ablation, sclerotherapy, and vascular surgery across 100+ locations. Directly comparable to TVE as a multi-site vascular/vein specialty group, though substantially larger and PE-backed.
• USA Vascular Centers: Multi-site vascular center network providing minimally invasive treatment for PAD and other vascular conditions in outpatient settings. Closely comparable to TVE's in-office angiography and endovascular procedure model, with a national footprint.
• Inovia Vein Specialty Centers: Multi-location vein and vascular specialty practice offering endovenous ablation, sclerotherapy, and vascular surgery. Comparable in service mix and outpatient delivery model to TVE's core vascular offering.
• American Vein & Vascular Institute: Network of vein and vascular clinics across multiple states offering diagnostic ultrasound and minimally invasive vascular procedures. Comparable as a multi-site, vascular-focused group practice.
• Vascular Health Clinics: Multi-location vascular medicine and surgery practice in the Midwest offering PAD, venous, and aneurysm care in outpatient settings. Comparable regional group practice with a similar in-office procedure mix.

Broad incumbents

• Cardiovascular Institute of the South: Large regional cardiovascular and vascular practice group operating across the Gulf South. Comparable in vascular procedure breadth but a much larger, multi-specialty incumbent rather than a focused vascular surgery group.
• MedStar Heart & Vascular Institute: Hospital-affiliated vascular surgery and cardiology program within the MedStar Health system. Comparable in clinical capabilities for PAD, aortic, and venous disease, but operates as an academic/hospital system rather than an independent outpatient practice.
• NewYork-Presbyterian Vascular Surgery: Academic medical center vascular surgery division providing full-spectrum arterial and venous care. Comparable in clinical scope and clinical-trial activity, but anchored in a hospital system rather than a community-based office model.

Others

• Inari Medical: Device manufacturer of the Artix Gen 2 and other thrombectomy systems that TVE uses clinically. Comparable as a strategic device partner and clinical-trial sponsor rather than a direct competitor.
• PQ Bypass (a Terumo company): Developer of the DETOUR System for percutaneous femoropopliteal bypass, partnered with TVE for clinical trials. Comparable as a device innovator and partner rather than a service competitor.
