Aortic and Other Arterial Aneurysmal Diseases
Dr. Mann treats conditions involving abnormal dilation or bulging of arterial walls, primarily the aorta, posing a risk of rupture.
- Aortic Dissection: A medical emergency often presenting with severe, tearing chest or back pain.
- Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA): Management involves surveillance and repair (open or TEVAR) based on size and risk factors.
- Peripheral Artery Aneurysms (e.g., Popliteal, Femoral): Repair is often recommended to prevent limb-threatening complications.

This excludes vessels of the heart and brain, which are typically managed by cardiologists/cardiac surgeons and neurologists/neurosurgeons respectively. Dr. Mann is skilled in a range of treatments including medical management, minimally invasive endovascular procedures, and open surgical reconstructions. a Vascular Surgeon, specializing in the diagnosis and comprehensive management of diseases affecting the arteries, veins, and lymphatic system, utilizing medical, endovascular, and open surgical techniques.
- When should I be referred to a Vascular Surgeon like Dr. Mann?
- Referral to a Vascular Surgeon like Dr. Mann is typically indicated if you have symptoms or diagnostic findings suggestive of significant arterial or venous disease. This might include: pain in your legs when walking (claudication), non-healing sores on your feet or legs, a diagnosis of an aortic or peripheral aneurysm, symptoms of a TIA ('mini-stroke') potentially related to carotid artery disease, severe varicose veins with complications, or problems with your dialysis access. Your family doctor or another specialist will usually make the referral.
- What is the typical recovery after vascular surgery or an endovascular procedure by Dr. Mann?
- The recovery period after a vascular intervention with Dr. Mann depends heavily on whether it's an open surgery or an endovascular (minimally invasive) procedure. Endovascular treatments usually mean a shorter hospital stay and a faster return to normal activities. Open surgeries, such as an open aortic aneurysm repair, are more extensive and require a longer convalescence. Dr. Mann will discuss your specific expected recovery timeline.
- What are some common conditions treated by Dr. Mann?
- As a Vascular Surgeon, Dr. Mann manages many conditions involving blood vessels. These frequently include blockages in arteries (atherosclerosis) affecting the legs, neck, or abdomen; aneurysms (weak, bulging arteries); problems with veins such as varicose veins or blood clots (DVT); and creating or repairing sites for dialysis access.
- Does Dr. Mann create or manage access for kidney dialysis?
- Yes, creating and maintaining vascular access for hemodialysis is a key component of Vascular Surgery. Dr. Mann is skilled in performing procedures such as creating arteriovenous (AV) fistulas and placing AV grafts, which are essential for patients with kidney failure who require long-term dialysis. She also manages complications related to dialysis access, such as blockages or infections.
- What is the difference between endovascular and open surgery, and does Dr. Mann perform both?
- Open vascular surgery requires a larger incision to expose the blood vessel for repair. Endovascular procedures are less invasive, using catheters and wires inserted through small access points to treat the problem from inside the vessel with balloons or stents. Dr. Mann is likely proficient in both techniques and will determine the most appropriate method for your situation, considering factors like the location and severity of the disease, and your fitness for surgery.
