Procedures and Treatments
Endovascular Stenting

Endovascular stenting involves placing a small wire mesh tube (stent) to keep your blood vessel open, ensuring smooth blood flow. This minimally invasive procedure is performed using advanced imaging techniques and is ideal for treating blockages and preventing aneurysms from rupturing. Patients benefit from shorter recovery times and fewer complications compared to traditional open surgeries. 

Procedures and Treatments
Angioplasty

During an angioplasty, a tiny balloon is inserted and inflated to widen a narrowed or blocked blood vessel. This procedure is crucial for improving blood flow in conditions like Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). Our team utilizes cutting-edge technology to enhance the success rate of this minimally invasive technique, resulting in improved patient mobility and quality of life. 

Procedures and Treatments
Bypass Surgery (e.g., Aortobifemoral Bypass, Femoropopliteal Bypass)

Bypass surgery entails redirecting blood flow around a blocked artery using a graft. Procedures like Aortobifemoral and Femoropopliteal Bypass are vital for ensuring adequate blood supply to limbs and organs. Our experienced surgeons perform these surgeries with precision, utilizing minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to enhance recovery and minimize risks. 

Procedures and Treatments
Thrombectomy and Embolectomy 

These procedures are designed to remove blood clots blocking blood vessels. A thrombectomy is utilized when a clot forms within a vessel, while an embolectomy addresses clots that have traveled from elsewhere. By restoring blood flow promptly, our interventions reduce the risk of serious complications like tissue damage and stroke. 

Procedures and Treatments
Aneurysm Repair (Open or Endovascular)

Aneurysms can weaken vessel walls, posing a risk of rupture. Our team offers both open and endovascular repair options, tailoring treatment to each patient's needs. Endovascular repair is less invasive, resulting in faster recovery, while open surgery may be necessary for complex cases. Expert care ensures the safest approach for repairing weakened blood vessels.

Procedures and Treatments
Vein Ligation and Stripping

This procedure treats varicose veins by removing or tying off affected veins. By addressing the root cause of varicose veins, this treatment alleviates symptoms like pain and swelling and improves the appearance of the legs. Innovative, less invasive methods are employed to enhance patient comfort and recovery.

Procedures and Treatments
Lymphedema Treatment

Lymphedema occurs when lymph fluid buildup causes swelling, often in the arms or legs. Our department provides comprehensive treatment plans, including physical therapy, lifestyle modifications, and, in some cases, surgery, helping you manage symptoms and enjoy a better quality of life.

Procedures and Treatments
Dialysis Access Creation

For patients requiring dialysis, creating reliable access is crucial. Our surgeons specialize in procedures like arteriovenous (AV) fistulas and grafts to facilitate successful long-term dialysis treatment. Tailored interventions ensure viable access sites, supporting effective and comfortable dialysis sessions. 

Types of Diseases Treated under Vascular Surgery

Aortic Aneurysms

Aortic aneurysms involve bulging in the aorta, the main artery carrying blood from the heart. They threaten rupture, needing expert intervention to repair or reinforce the vessel wall, ensuring your safety and health.

Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD)

PAD limits blood flow to the limbs due to narrowed arteries. Our approach includes lifestyle changes and advanced surgical options to restore adequate circulation, prevent complications, and improve mobility and limb function.

Carotid Artery Disease

This condition narrows carotid arteries, increasing stroke risk. We offer treatments, including medication and carotid endarterectomy, to reduce risks and enhance blood flow, protecting your brain's health.

Aortic Dissection

Aortic dissection involves a tear in the aorta's inner layer, causing potential life-threatening issues. Emergency surgical interventions are performed to repair the tear and ensure your safety through expert management.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)

DVT forms blood clots deep in leg veins, posing risks of pulmonary embolism. Our treatments include medications and clot removal techniques to prevent complications and promote healthy circulation.

Pulmonary Embolism (PE)

PE occurs when a clot lodges in lung arteries. Prompt intervention, often using clot-dissolving medicines, is essential to treat the condition, ensuring better respiratory function and detecting causes.

Varicose Veins

Varicose veins, swollen, twisted veins visible under the skin, are managed with therapies like vein stripping and less invasive treatments, addressing symptoms and preventing complications.

Lymphedema

Lymphedema induces swelling due to lymph fluid buildup. Comprehensive care, combining therapies and, when needed, surgical interventions, aids symptom management and improves life quality.

Atherosclerotic Disease

Atherosclerotic disease involves arterial plaque buildup, hindering blood flow. Treatments focus on stenting or bypass to restore circulation, lowering risks of heart attack and stroke.

Renal Artery Stenosis

This condition narrows arteries supplying blood to kidneys, potentially impairing function. Interventional or surgical approaches help restore blood flow and protect kidney health.

Mesenteric Ischemia

This condition limits blood supply to intestines, causing pain. Timely intervention via endovascular or open surgery ensures bowel health and prevents serious outcomes.

Aortoiliac Occlusive Disease

This condition narrows aortic branching arteries to the pelvis and legs. Surgical and endovascular treatments restore blood flow, relieving symptoms and enhancing quality of life.

Dialysis Access

Proper dialysis access is essential for patients requiring this life-saving treatment. Our surgical expertise ensures successful access creation, supporting effective dialysis therapy.

Diagnostics and Tests under Vascular Surgery

Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial to designing effective vascular treatment plans. Our advanced diagnostic tools and tests include
Duplex Ultrasound

Provides live images and blood flow data to diagnose vascular conditions. 

CT Angiography

Offers detailed vascular imaging for assessing blockages or aneurysms. 

MRI Angiography

Utilizes magnetic fields for detailed vascular examination, crucial for detailed diagnostics. 

Angiography

Provides X-ray images of arteries using contrast dye to detect blockages or abnormalities. 

Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI)

Compares arm and ankle blood pressures, used to diagnose PAD. 

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

Evaluates blood health, including red and white blood cells, vital for overall assessments. 

Coagulation Studies

Measures blood clotting ability, assessing risk for conditions like DVT and PE. 

Prothrombin Time (PT)

Assesses blood clotting speed and effectiveness, key for anticoagulation therapy. 

International Normalized Ratio (INR)

Monitors blood-thinning medication effects, ensuring proper blood coagulability. 

Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT)

Evaluates coagulation pathways, essential in managing blood disorders. 

Platelet Count

Critical in diagnosing bleeding disorders and assessing overall blood function. 

Lipid Profile

Measures cholesterol and triglycerides, crucial for assessing cardiovascular risk. 

Blood Type and Crossmatch

Ensures blood compatibility for transfusions or surgeries. 

Kidney Function Tests (Creatinine & Blood Urea Nitrogen - BUN)

Assesses kidney health, ensuring safe medication administration. 

Liver Function Tests

Determines liver health, pivotal in comprehensive patient assessments.

Type and Screen

Verifies blood types and screens for unexpected antibodies crucial for transfusion safety.
