Dr. Tallarita’s love for vascular surgery brought him to specialize in minimally invasive vascular surgery with special focus on aortic, deep (central) venous, and peripheral arterial and venous diseases. He is currently involved in several research projects with focus on aberrant subclavian artery, deep venous diseases, complex aortic aneurysm repair, carotid, and peripheal atheroscleortic and aneurysmatic diseases.

Vascular surgery is a surgical subspecialty in which diseases of the vascular system (arteries, veins and lymphatic vessels) are managed by medical therapy, minimally-invasive catheter procedures, and surgical reconstruction. As a vascular surgeon, Dr. Tallarita is trained to evaluate and treat complex diseases of the vascular system, with special emphasis in minimal invasive techniques.
