Vascular surgeries
Vascular surgeries focus on treating diseases of the blood vessels. These procedures help restore proper blood flow, prevent complications like stroke or limb ischemia, and relieve symptoms caused by blocked or weakened vessels. Using advanced techniques and minimally invasive methods, vascular surgery aims to improve circulation, protect vital organs, and enhance overall quality of life.
What Are Vascular Surgeries?
Vascular surgery is a specialised branch of surgery that focuses on diagnosing and treating diseases of the blood vessels — the arteries and veins that carry blood throughout the body. These vessels can become narrowed, blocked, swollen, or damaged due to conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, or natural aging. When blood flow is affected, vital organs and limbs may not receive the oxygen they need.
We manage these conditions using both minimally invasive endovascular procedures and open surgical techniques, depending on what is safest and most effective for the patient. Early diagnosis and timely treatment can prevent serious complications like stroke, limb loss, or organ damage.
When Do Patients Need Vascular Surgery?
Patients may be referred for vascular care if they have symptoms such as:
Leg pain or cramps while walking (claudication)
Non-healing wounds on the legs or feet
Swelling or enlarged veins
Cold, numb, or pale limbs
Bulging arteries (aneurysms)
Blood clots or varicose veins
Poor circulation due to diabetes
We also treat life-threatening emergencies like acute limb ischemia or ruptured aneurysms.
Common Vascular Conditions We Treat
Our vascular expertise covers a wide range of diseases, including:
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD)
Narrowing or blockage of arteries supplying the legs.
Aneurysms (Aortic, Peripheral, Visceral)
Weakening and bulging of artery walls that may rupture if untreated.
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
Blood clots in the deep veins of the legs.
Varicose and Spider Veins
Enlarged, twisted veins causing discomfort and swelling.
Carotid Artery Disease
Narrowing of neck arteries that may lead to stroke.
Diabetic Vascular Complications
Poor circulation and non-healing wounds requiring specialised care.
Key Vascular Procedures We Offer
Endovascular Procedures (Minimally Invasive)
These are performed through small punctures using catheters, stents, and balloons.
Benefits include less pain, fewer complications, and shorter recovery time.
Common endovascular treatments:
Angioplasty and stenting
Endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR)
Peripheral arterial interventions
Thrombolysis and clot removal
Open Vascular Surgery
Used when disease is extensive or endovascular options are not suitable.
Bypass surgery to restore blood flow
Aneurysm repair
Carotid endarterectomy
Vein stripping or ligation
Emergency Vascular Care
For conditions like acute limb ischemia, ruptured aneurysms, or traumatic vascular injuries.
