DonaldLJacobsMD

Chief of Vascular Surgery, University of Colorado, Anschutz Medical Center.

Overview of Dr. Jacobs

I am a vascular surgeon who utilizes endovascular and open surgical techniques to treat a range of simple to the most complex vascular problems arising from arterial aneurysmal and occlusive disease as well as functional and occlusive venous disease. I have conducted clinical trials on device development in the use of minimally invasive catheter based therapies to treat arterial and venous disease. I have a life long interest in educating others in the up to date treatments of vascular disease.
