At least half of the people
with vascular disorders have no
symptoms. Early and accurate
diagnosis is important. Patients
with vascular disease have a six-
times higher rate of developing
heart disease. Vascular disease
can also lead to strokes, ruptured
blood vessels, blood clots and
kidney failure.
The vascular patient is one
of the most difficult patients to
care for because the disease
(and treatment) involves multiple
systems of the body.
Vascular surgery at Kadlec
With the addition of Dr. Lee,
Kadlec now has around-the-
clock vascular surgery services.
Other Kadlec physicians
performing vascular surgery
are Hannan Chaugle, MD, and
Esteban Ambrad-Chalela, MD.
This team has significant
experience in open vascular
surgery and minimally invasive
procedures. This expertise
allows them to care for a wide
range of conditions, including
aortic aneurysm, carotid artery
disease, peripheral vascular
disease, circulation disorders,
and varicose veins, and perform
balloon angioplasty and stenting
procedures.
Dr. Lee also performs a
procedure for patients undergoing
dialysis. Prior to Dr. Lee’s arrival,
many of these patients were
referred out of the area.
While a surgeon, Dr. Lee’s
approach to care is not surgery
first.
“Knowing when to operate
and when not to operate is very
important,” he said.
Dr. Lee’s office is located at
Kadlec Clinic Cardiothoracic
and Vascular Surgery, 780 Swift
Boulevard, Suite 140, in Richland.
The clinic can be reached at
(509) 942-3095
