Cleveland Clinic Florida appointed vascular surgeon Greg Kasper, MD, as the new director of vascular services for its Heart, Vascular & Thoracic Institute.

The appointment aims to expand the institute's capacity to treat high-risk vascular conditions. By bringing in specialized leadership, the facility seeks to increase access to advanced open and endovascular treatments for patients across the region.

Dr. Kasper specializes in the treatment of aneurysms, carotid artery disease, critical limb ischemia, and complex venous conditions [1, 2]. His role involves overseeing the strategic direction of vascular care at the institute located in Weston, Florida [1]. While he will lead the services at the Weston campus, his primary practice base remains in Stuart, Florida [1].

The announcement of his appointment was detailed in a news release dated Sept. 4 [1]. This leadership transition follows earlier reporting in March 2026 regarding the clinic's focus on aneurysm symptoms and treatments [2].

As director, Kasper is tasked with managing the delivery of complex surgical interventions. These procedures are critical for patients facing life-threatening arterial issues or those requiring limb-salvage surgeries due to ischemia [1, 2]. The institute intends to leverage his expertise to refine the clinical pathways for both traditional open surgeries and minimally invasive endovascular options [1].

“Dr. Kasper specializes in the treatment of aneurysms, carotid artery disease, critical limb ischemia, and complex venous conditions.”

The appointment of a specialist in both open and endovascular techniques suggests that Cleveland Clinic Florida is positioning itself as a comprehensive hub for vascular health. By integrating a director with a broad surgical scope, the institute can better manage the full spectrum of vascular disease, from preventative carotid care to emergency aneurysm repair, potentially reducing the need for patient transfers to other specialty centers.
