Dr. Kyle Arsenault provides expert diagnosis and treatment for a wide spectrum of vascular conditions, including:
Arterial Occlusive and Stenotic Diseases
Dr. Arsenault treats conditions characterized by narrowing or blockage of arteries, restricting blood flow to vital organs and limbs.
- Renal Artery Stenosis: Can be caused by atherosclerosis or fibromuscular dysplasia.
- Mesenteric Ischemia (Acute or Chronic): Acute mesenteric ischemia is a surgical emergency requiring rapid revascularization.
Aortic and Other Arterial Aneurysmal Diseases
Dr. Arsenault treats weakening and expansion of arteries, which can occur in the abdomen (AAA), chest (TAA), or peripheral arteries.
- Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA): A localized enlargement of the abdominal aorta, which can rupture if it grows too large, leading to life-threatening internal bleeding.
- Peripheral Artery Aneurysms (e.g., Popliteal, Femoral): Repair is often recommended to prevent limb-threatening complications.
- Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA): May be associated with genetic conditions (e.g., Marfan syndrome) or atherosclerosis.
This list is not exhaustive. For a comprehensive evaluation of your vascular health, a consultation with Dr. Kyle Arsenault is necessary.
- Carotid Artery Disease Surgery (Carotid Endarterectomy / Stenting): Surgical removal of plaque (endarterectomy) from the carotid artery to prevent stroke.
- Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) and Pulmonary Embolism (PE) Management - Select Interventions: Diagnosis and initiation of anticoagulation for DVT and PE.
- Upper Extremity Arterial Disease Management: Treatment of blockages or aneurysms in the arteries of the arms and hands.
- Aortic Aneurysm Repair (Open and Endovascular - EVAR/TEVAR/FEVAR): Surgical repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) or thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) to prevent life-threatening rupture.
- Post-operative Vascular Care and Surveillance: Managing post-procedure care, including wound healing and medication adjustments.
- Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) Management - Surgical & Endovascular: Minimally invasive endovascular procedures such as angioplasty, stenting, and atherectomy for PAD.
Note: This list provides an overview. Specific procedures are determined after thorough consultation with Dr. Arsenault.
All vascular surgical and endovascular services are provided in accordance with the standards of practice set by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) and relevant Canadian Society for Vascular Surgery (CSVS) guidelines and best practices.

Dr. Arsenault’s vascular practice is centrally located in Peterborough, ON, with easy access to the Child Parent Resource Institute. The clinic is situated in a professional, patient-oriented environment in Downtown Peterborough’s Central neighborhood, offering convenient proximity to public transportation, including Peterborough Transit. The facility is wheelchair accessible and designed to ensure patient comfort and privacy.

Both locations are committed to providing comprehensive, patient-focused vascular care in a welcoming setting.
- What is the difference between endovascular and open surgery, and does Dr. Arsenault perform both?
- Open surgery involves making a traditional incision to directly access and repair the affected blood vessel (e.g., bypass grafting, aneurysm repair with a sewn-in graft). Endovascular surgery is minimally invasive, performed through small punctures in an artery (usually in the groin) using catheters, wires, balloons, and stents guided by imaging. Many Vascular Surgeons like Dr. Arsenault are skilled in both approaches and will recommend the best option based on your specific condition, anatomy, and overall health. You should discuss this with Dr. Arsenault.
- Does Dr. Arsenault create or manage access for kidney dialysis?
- Indeed. Vascular surgeons like Dr. Arsenault are specialists in establishing and preserving hemodialysis access. This involves surgically creating AV fistulas (connecting an artery to a vein) or implanting AV grafts. Dr. Arsenault also treats problems that can arise with these access sites to ensure they remain functional for dialysis patients.
- What are some common conditions treated by Dr. Arsenault?
- As a Vascular Surgeon, Dr. Arsenault 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.
- What is the typical recovery after vascular surgery or an endovascular procedure by Dr. Arsenault?
- Recovery time varies significantly depending on the type of vascular procedure performed by Dr. Arsenault and your individual health. Minimally invasive endovascular procedures generally have shorter hospital stays (sometimes even outpatient) and quicker recovery times, often a few days to a couple of weeks. Open surgical procedures, especially for major aortic surgery, involve a longer hospital stay and a recovery period of several weeks to months. Dr. Arsenault will provide detailed post-procedure instructions and a personalized recovery plan.
- When should I be referred to a Vascular Surgeon like Dr. Arsenault?
- You might be referred to Dr. Arsenault if you experience issues like leg pain or cramping with exercise that resolves with rest (claudication), coldness or numbness in your limbs, visible varicose veins causing discomfort or skin changes, or if an imaging study reveals an aneurysm or significant blockage in your arteries. Any concerns about circulation in your arteries or veins, or problems with a dialysis fistula or graft, warrant consultation with a vascular specialist.
