Medical and Surgical Conditions Treated by Vascular Surgeons

Varicose Veins – Swollen, twisted veins in the legs caused by poor blood flow.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) – Blood clot formation in deep veins, usually in the legs.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) – Narrowing of arteries that reduces blood flow to limbs.

Carotid Artery Disease – Blockage or narrowing of arteries supplying blood to the brain.

Aneurysmal Disease (Aneurysm) – Bulging or weakening of artery walls, often in the aorta.

Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM) – Abnormal connections between arteries and veins.

Chronic Limb Ischemia – Poor circulation in the legs causing pain, ulcers, or gangrene.

Diabetic Foot Ulcers – Non-healing wounds due to poor circulation and diabetes.

Venous Insufficiency – Condition where blood doesn’t flow properly back to the heart.

Hemodialysis Access Surgery – Creation or repair of access points for dialysis treatment.

Endovascular Procedures – Minimally invasive treatments using stents, balloons, or catheters.

Carotid Endarterectomy – Surgical removal of plaque from carotid arteries to prevent stroke.

Bypass Surgery (Peripheral Bypass) – Restoring blood flow around blocked arteries.

Aortic Dissection – Tear in the inner layer of the aorta requiring urgent surgical care.

🩺 Conditions Treated by Vascular Surgeons

Arterial Diseases

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) – blockage/narrowing in leg arteries.

Aneurysms – ballooning of blood vessels (like abdominal aortic aneurysm).

Carotid Artery Disease – narrowing of neck arteries supplying the brain.

Renal artery disease (affecting kidney blood supply).

Venous Diseases

Varicose veins.

Chronic venous insufficiency.

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT).

Spider veins.

Other Conditions

Diabetic foot ulcers due to poor circulation.

Vascular trauma (injury to blood vessels).

Dialysis access creation (fistulas or grafts).

🛠 Types of Treatments
1. Endovascular (Minimally Invasive) Procedures

Angioplasty – balloon opens blocked artery.

Stent placement – metal mesh tube to keep artery open.

Endovenous ablation – laser or radiofrequency to close faulty veins.

Thrombectomy / Thrombolysis – removal or dissolving of blood clots.

2. Open Surgical Procedures

Bypass surgery – creating a new path for blood flow using vein or synthetic graft.

Carotid endarterectomy – removing plaque from neck artery to prevent stroke.

Aneurysm repair – replacing or reinforcing weakened artery walls.

Varicose vein stripping (less common now, mostly replaced by minimally invasive methods).

3. Supportive / Preventive Care

Compression stockings for venous disease.

Wound care for ulcers.

Risk factor management (blood thinners, cholesterol & BP control, diabetes management).
