Vascular surgery is a highly specialized branch of medicine that treats blood vessel and lymphatic (circulatory or vascular) conditions. A vascular surgeon is trained to provide you with complete treatment which includes counseling, medical treatment and reconstructive vascular surgery. Don’t neglect a vascular disease; it can cause severe disability or even death.
Vascular surgery includes surgery of the aorta, carotid arteries, and lower extremities. It may be recommended to treat a variety of conditions including:
Treatments are typically classified into emergencies, urgent and non-urgent, in order to prioritize cases.
Vascular surgery is typically recommended when a patient cannot be treated by non-surgical or less invasive procedures. As with all surgeries, there is always a certain amount of risk. Some of these risks include bleeding, heart attack and stroke. It is important to discuss them with your vascular surgeon. If you are a smoker, suffer from high blood pressure, have a chronic lung or kidney disease, or other illnesses, you are at a greater risk of developing complications during and after surgery.
The success rate for vascular surgery also depends on a number of individual factors which may influence your decision on whether to have it or not.
When left untreated, vascular disorders often lead to serious problems such as stroke or heart attack. Vascular surgery and treatment restores adequate blood flow reducing your risk of further complications. A vascular surgeon is trained in the diagnosis and management of diseases affecting most the vascular system, with the exception of the heart and brain.
