The Endovascular Lab is situated in the Cardiovascular Suite and was the first dedicated vascular lab in Australia.

It is widely regarded as one of the leading vascular facilities in the world and carries out both cutting edge diagnostic and vascular interventions by a distinguished faculty of vascular surgeons in Victoria.

The Endovascular Lab carries out approximately 1800 procedures annually including balloon angioplasties, peripheral, carotid and renal stenting, embolisation coiling of malformations, fibroids and aneurysms, and endoluminal stent grafting for thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms. It carries out approximately 125 endoluminal repairs of aortic aneurysms annually and is one of the busiest in the world.

The lab is a renowned reference site for product trials and latest technology. It is a frequent venue for live case presentations for conferences and is a centre for the training of vascular surgeons and nurses both locally and from overseas.

In January 2007, a new GE 3100 Digital x-ray system with DSA, 3-D,vascular ultrasound, archival and reporting system will be installed that will provide state of the art technology for diagnosis and treatment of vascular diseases in the Endovascular lab. Procedures include:

• Transluminal balloon angioplasty
• Transluminal stent insertions
• Endoluminal stent grafts for TAA's and AAA's
• Carotid Stenting
• Embolisation coiling of aneurysm's and malformations
• Fibroid Embolisation
