Institute of Vascular Surgery

Endovascular surgery involves minimally invasive techniques to treat various vascular disorders, using catheters threaded through blood vessels. This sub-specialty focuses on offering less traumatic alternatives to open surgery, enhancing recovery times, and reducing complications. Patients benefit from precise procedures such as stent placements and angioplasty, which target localized problems within the vascular system without the need for large incisions. These interventions are critical in managing conditions like aneurysms and PVD, ensuring patients receive care tailored to their specific needs and complexities, promoting quicker return to normal life.

Podiatrics specializes in managing disorders concerning the foot and lower limb, a critical focus area for patients with diabetes or mobility issues. By offering comprehensive care, including surgical and non-surgical treatments, podiatrics addresses foot conditions like ulcers, circulatory issues, and structural problems. Our department’s commitment to podiatric care ensures individuals receive tailored interventions that enhance foot health, prevent complications, and maintain overall mobility. Expert podiatric services are crucial in managing diabetic foot complications and preventing serious outcomes like amputations.

A venogram involves injecting a contrast dye and using X-rays to visualize veins, primarily for identifying blood clots. It helps in diagnosing conditions affecting circulation, providing a clear map of vein health and guiding appropriate treatment strategies for vascular conditions.

An angiogram is an imaging test that uses contrast dye and X-rays to visualize arteries. It's crucial for diagnosing blocked or narrowed vessels, enabling tailored interventions like angioplasty and stenting. It ensures precision in treatment planning for vascular diseases.

A lymphangiogram is an imaging test that visualizes the lymphatic system using a contrast dye. It is used to identify blockages, tumors, or abnormalities in the lymph vessels, aiding in diagnosing lymphedema and guiding targeted therapies for lymphatic disorders.

A thrombophilia workup involves blood tests that check for disorders causing abnormal blood clotting. It’s vital for patients with clotting issues or those with a family history of thrombosis, aiding in the prevention and management of clot-related complications.

These coagulation tests evaluate blood clotting ability. Prothrombin Time (PT), Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT), and International Normalized Ratio (INR) are critical for monitoring blood-thinning therapies and ensuring balanced clotting, preventing adverse events like bleeding or clots.
