Defining Excellence in Healthcare
Vegas Vascular Specialists is the largest and most diverse vascular surgery group in Las Vegas. Comprising both experienced and younger surgeons, it offers a comprehensive range of vascular surgery services, from basic procedures for peripheral artery disease and varicose veins to complex aortic reconstructions and advanced carotid care.
“We locally handle the entire spectrum of vascular surgery needs with a team that spans different experience levels, eliminating the need to refer patients out of town. We are fully equipped and comfortable providing a complete breadth of vascular care services for our community,” says Dr. Eddy H. Luh, founder of Vegas Vascular Specialists.
Patients across Las Vegas and beyond benefit from the newest medically proven technologies utilized by Vegas Vascular Specialists. Whether it is minimally invasive or open surgery procedures, the combination of cutting-edge technology and experienced surgeons ensures the best treatment approach possible.
Vascular Surgery as a Specialty
Educating hospital leadership and primary care providers about the distinct nature of vascular surgery as a specialty is the first step toward more personalized and comprehensive treatments. While cardiology, interventional radiology, and cardiac surgery may touch on aspects of vascular surgery, they cannot provide the comprehensive depth that Vegas Vascular Specialists bring to the table. Unlike a three-ring circus, with each specialty playing a role, vascular surgery as a specialization encompasses what others can only partially address.
The Vegas Vascular Specialists team employs an agnostic approach to determine the best course of action, whether it’s a stent, open surgery, or conservative medical management. In contrast to other specialties that may offer limited options, they prioritize what’s best for the patient.

It engages patients in discussions to present all available options, including lifestyle changes, exercise, and the possibility of a minimally invasive procedure known as an endovascular intervention. If needed, it also explores surgical bypass procedures and tailors various recommendations as per their needs instead of solely benefiting their practice.
This patient-centricity ensures a collaborative decision-makingstate-of-the-art process to establish the most effective and suitable game plan. For this reason, it is crucial to educate the community about the distinctive vascular care field, as vascular surgeons have been underrepresented in this aspect for the last few decades.
Commitment to Lifelong Care
The vascular surgeons at Vegas Vascular Specialists establish enduring relationships with patients, emphasizing comprehensive care beyond preoperative and procedural stages. Post-procedure follow-up is integral for ensuring the durability of interventions over time. Given the systemic nature of atherosclerotic occlusive disease, vascular surgeons actively screen patients for potential arterial issues in various vascular beds.
This commitment to lifelong care is exemplified in specific cases, such as a patient with carotid stenosis treated with Trans Carotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR), a state-of-the-art procedure offered exclusively by the practice in Nevada. After addressing the carotid disease, Vegas Vascular Specialists identified and treated peripheral artery disease in his legs using minimally invasive methods. Regular follow-ups every six months to a year ensure ongoing well-being.
These connections extend beyond clinical interactions, evolving into long-standing genuine friendships, as the surgeon group diligently monitors a patient’s ongoing health and addresses developments of new issues.
A Team that Genuinely Cares for Patients
Vegas Vascular Specialists operates as a cohesive team comprising five experienced vascular surgeons and one nurse practitioner. The team’s strength lies in diverse expertise, with two senior members bringing over 20 years of experience and three junior partners contributing fresh perspectives from strong training programs.
Regular collaboration ensures a dynamic approach to patient care. They leverage a collective experience, emphasize emergent technologies and share ‘street moves’—practical insights learned through years of hands-on practice. Each member has a specialized focus, ranging from complex aortic reconstructions to thoracic outlet syndrome and carotid disease. Some delve into clinical research, exploring cutting-edge advancements previously unavailable in Las Vegas.
Vegas Vascular Specialists prioritizes personalized care, treating everyone like family and emphasizing the personable side of healthcare, which is integral to its practice. The belief is that the key to being a great surgeon is not only technical skill but the ability to ensure patient safety, satisfaction, and the willingness to refer others—making patients the greatest advocates for Vegas Vascular Specialists.
