He completed his residency in general surgery at Yale University School of Medicine in New Haven, Connecticut in 2004.
Dr. Kaviani completed a compulsory two-year research component of his general surgery residency at Harvard Medical School. His work focused mostly on stem cell isolation and tissue engineering. At the completion of his general surgery residency, Dr. Kaviani left for the Cleveland Clinic Foundation to complete a fellowship in vascular and endovascular surgery, training with some of the leaders in the field.

“Quantitative” Reward in Giving Back
Vascular surgeon Amir Kaviani, MD, finds parallels in medicine and his passion for restoring cars.
When not suited up in scrubs, vascular and endovascular surgeon Amir Kaviani, MD, can often be found operating under the hood of one of his classic Alfa Romeos. He fell in love with these cars as a child. Today, refurbishing them is one of his passions.
“It’s my time to chill and escape. I love resurrecting something that’s old and returning it to be something cool and functional again,” he says.
Thoracic and Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
What is an aneurysm?
An aneurysm is a localized, blood-filled dilation (balloon-like bulge) of a blood vessel that is caused by disease or weakening of the vessel wall...
Advanced Endovascular Interventions
Endovascular surgery is a technique which is revolutionizing the field of vascular surgery. This procedure allows surgeons to make a few small incisions (usually in the patient's groin area). Instead of an open operation with an incision that can be 18-36" long in some cases, the surgeon uses x-rays to guide small catheters and devices through the blood vessels to open clogged arteries.
Dialysis Access Surgery
Dialysis is the most common treatment for kidney failure. A dialysis machine is an artificial kidney that is designed to remove impurities from your blood. During dialysis, the dialysis nurses use the dialysis access to access your bloodstream, so your blood can be circulated through the dialysis machine.

The doctors at the Vein Center at South Bay Surgeons offer the finest, minimally-invasive treatments available for varicose vein disease.
